I'm not the best at home repairs. But I sure as hell can't afford a plumber (barely the parts).

So I did my best. It didn't help that it was done wrong originally. No shut off valves and missing slip joints 🤬!

It took 4 days and a blood sacrifice for what likely would have been 2 hours for others but I'm relieved it's done.

Before and after of the pipes, and the new faucet.

(also I DESPISE copper pipes)
