    Price Pfitzer. Word to the wise.
    Save the box. When the time comes to replace any leaking parts you’ll need the model number. And you won’t find any number of use on the fixture and both PP and Home Depot will not help you. Only reason they have a lifetime warranty is no one has the model numbers to reorder parts ;) HD doesn’t stock parts so you cannot compare by sight. It’s all over the phone and PP wants a model number or your dead in the water.
    Luckily for me I tossed a bunch of extra plumbing parts in the box and put it on the shelf in the basement. They were good on the warranty after I found the box.

    I would NEVER take the time to install a PP in my house again. Made that mistake once. Keeps me brushed up on my plumbing skills tho. :)

    In fact, i do hate residential plumbing.
    Luckily i do commercial/industrial plumbing and pipe fitting. (Water plants)
    I love the big heavy stuff.

    And some light stuff too, like these sodium hypochlorite pumps.
    Now this is fun!:thumbs:

    Aint it funny no matter what were doing we manage to find firewood in some way shape or form? Must be our hoarder instincts or obsession. Nice find at the dump. The pooch approves! Hope it turns out to be hedge! Too bad about the plumbing problem. Hope that turns out okay.

    Cordless impact a must to take up the slack...just have to finish by hand then...least that's what I do...but I'm working on my own stuff too, so if it leaks it is just my own problem...not PO'd customer...

    Nice! Thought it might be a Weimaraner, the color was hard to tell. Had a Weim years ago. Great dog, but could get into lots of mischief! Im sure your Vizsla has plenty of energy!

    Golly I HATE water. Share that passion right with ya papadave. :hair::hair::hair::hair::hair::hair::mad::mad::mad::mad: You can easily be working the bathroom stuff and $&@! Goes absolutely out of control. I did the bathroom in my old house almost all the way.

    Nice find on the wood, good luck with the sink Sean!
