The kitchen sink spray nozzle gave up the ghost. I bought a new kitchen faucet and will be replacing it tomorrow. The better half wants one of those nozzles that pull out of the head instead of what i have. My back is not looking forward to this. Im actually contemplating pulling entire double sink to replace it and not have to crawl upside down into cabinet. And its a corner sink to boot with a single door…… my back hurts thinking about it

Oh Man, I feel you there Grsgreat!! I absolutely hate it whenever I need to work under the sink! Everything hurts and it's such a tight fitment space there is never enough room to turn a wrench completely! Get stuck with baby turns that take twice as long to get anywhere. If pulling the entire sink works better - please advise us!

Im going to yank disposal and all drains then see if i can fit under it. If not….sink gets yanked.

Is that sink caulked to the countertop? I’ve damaged a couple trying to pry them loose.

Yes, but its tile. I can undercut it.

I replaced the faucet on a deep utility room type sink a few years ago. I somehow got the old one out and realized it was just easier to pull the sink to out the new one in. I’d pull the sink if I were you.

The belt broke on my flail mower. It didn't actually break, it just went bad. The pulleys were about 3/4" to 7/8" wide, so I wanted to get a 3/4" belt. What a pain to find.

Ultimately one shop sales person said he had a gazillion years of experience and insisted that I needed a 5/8" belt (which he ordered about 1" too short). I don't think I'll go back there. But, it is now stretched tight on my machine. Let's see how it works.

Oh well, i was able to replace faucet without pulling sink. I guess im not as fat as i thought. When we were shopping for faucet i asked the wife if she wanted a new sink basin….she said no. She liked the sink.

Now thats its all done, she wonders why i didnt replace the sink.

I need a drink.
