1st floor bathroom faucet replacement


Replaced the bathroom faucet in 1st floor that was installed in 1991. The handle was a little stiff as it needs to be taken apart after 8 years or so and the o-rings lubricated. Also the drain pivot that controls the plug for the drain was totally corroded making it totally not salvageable. A generic drain pivot replacement cost $15 and I was unsure it would function well. Then the faucet was starting to show cosmetic rust where it joins to the sink. The faucet still shut off perfectly.


We purchased a new Moen Faucet for under $60 at Costco with a spout that is raised higher and has a push to seat the stopper and then push to release stopper.  It looks like it will work much nicer. Such a deal.
