Having fun with the laundry room faucet. It is essentially a kitchen faucet and cheap stainless steel sink in the laundry room. Handy to have.
It is pretty obvious the old faucet was leaking, and it was a crappy faucet anyway. Taking it out was fairly straightforward, except the long 11MM nut in the middle that secured the faucet in place. As you can see, it was a tad rusty, and it held down a plate for a wider footprint. I had removed the other lines to get access to the nut. I whipped out my 11mm deep socket, and my swivel head ratchet, and it fought a little but it yielded to a superior force. I had to just cut the hose for the sprayer, and there was no easy access to the brass connection for the hose. It all went to the landfill anyway, so no need to play nice.
The new faucet is in place, and the laundry and dog washing service provider is happy again.
The worst part was laying on my back, against the floor of the cabinet, that is 4 inches higher than the floor, so a nice hard spot to lay on. I did use an old packing blanket to soften it. Few things more fun than laying on your back, reaching up to arms length, to fiddle with connections with the sink drain right in the way of everything. We now have a soap dispenser on the right side, and the head of the faucet pulls out to spray if needed. There is a full size washer and dryer, and a built in ironing board in there as well.
We keep the dog food in there in a plastic tub, and our female gets 1/2 an antihistamine for her allergies.
