Dueling Faucets
We agreed that a faucet upgrade was in order at Shilo's (Gari's mom) house. We had replaced the kitchen faucet a couple years ago with a pull out model, but it didn't hold up well. Even though that model sold for over $100 at the time the construction materials were mostly plastic, which surprised me. Not surprisingly the plastic wore quickly and the handle wouldn't sit well in the retracted position. In pictures we replace the worn faucet below.

New in the box Moen faucet, this a pull down model vs the existing pull out style.
It's what's in the box!
Steve has his fancy new faucet wrench he picked up at Walmart one day, too bad it wasn't usable on this job!
I see progress, the new faucet is on the counter, but Steve is still under the sink 30 minutes later. It looks like he is installing the retraction weight on the supply line now. That is what's in his hand. Get in there fella!
Test Inspector #1 seems pleased with the water spray, this is encouraging!
Manager of the Inspection Department, Shilo runs the new install through it's paces and returns a seal of acceptance!
The new kitchen faucet, the R.O. drinking faucet is next for replacement.
