Did you use the standard hosebib or the new Aquor's?

Whatever came in the kit. ;)

The kitchen one was easy-peasy.  Just the faucet.

The first bathroom one was a pain.  No room to get in underneath.
Couldn't figure out how to disassemble the old drain stems with the plunger lever.  Not a damn thing in the "Engrish" instructions.
Finally worked out what I needed to do but then couldn't reassembly the P-Trap section again.  Finally figured out with the new set, I had to cut off an inch on the old PVC to get it to fit.

So I'm hoping the other 3 bathroom sink will go the same so hoping that will go smooth.

All in all, I hate plumbing. ;)

Welcome to my world. I can swap out a Lav faucet in under 15 mins after 30 years experience.

I thought you were doing outside hosebibs.

I need to.  The ones there now suck.  Not even connected to the brick.  Just pex look line with a hosebib stuck on.  Hanging out in space.  lol. And they leak like a sieve when turned on with a hose on them.  Needs new valve packing I guess.  Hmmm those aquors are sick.  I'd love those.  I will probably leave those for a plumber.

Funny thing, lived in Idaho for about 16 years before moving back to Texas last year. Many sub zero nights and days in Idaho. Never had a pipe burst. Always had our sprinkler system blown out beginning of winter. We neglected to have our sprinkler system here blown out or turned off and dang if the pvc coming out of the ground for the backflow valve didn't burst. Easy fix though. Next year we'll have it blown out or do it myself if no one does that here.

Only time my pipe burst, power was off 32 hours. Drained pipes but not blown out. Burst over my office....over $17,000 damage. Bought a Generac since then.

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump them numbers up!!!

last I checked I was at 700+GB. And that is mostly maps.

I own everything ED has to offer.  I don't keep all the Mod stuff installed, just install as needed.  Number may have been low as I uninstalled the a couple of the toejamty hangar queens & S. Atlantic while trying to do the stupidly large update on Friday.

These guys take their modeling research seriously. Always liked the Super Sabre.

The F-100 is gonna be one of those "it's not supposed to be this hard" kinda things, I bet.

If I do a jet, it will prolly be this one. 

At least it's mostly analog.

And certainly rusty, in a need of some patching.

I have a feeling this one is going to be one of those Regretabuys.  Except for the novelty.

I enjoyed the F-14 a lot but I had joined a group that took it pretty seriously. This was before I became mostly retired and found I didn't have the time to keep up with the training so we parted ways. I think if you can find a squad with interest in flying the aircraft as it was flown irl you'll get more out of it than an occasional quick mission.
