Deinstalling the old faucet was much easier than I anticipated. Installation of the new faucet was also much easier than anticipated. The design on the new faucet was such that you don’t have to be a skilled plumber to install it. Only problem is that I am a southpaw ( left handed ) and the handle is on the right. Very awkward for me. I told the better half that I can no longer do the dishes. She is not at all understanding about this matter.
