Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[Adam]

Somebody left a comment on one of my Amazon reviews and basically called me a liar. Well, said that only the totally naive would believe that my (and other) reviews weren't bogus. And why did the person think they were bogus? Because several people claimed to own *gasp* several earbuds that...wait for it...Amazon just happens to also sell. Hey, I can understand the skepticism. I mean, who owns more than one pair of earbuds except for the uber rich, and what are the odds that a small outfit like Amazon would carry multiple pairs of earbuds? I feel like such a sham...

Note: I just couldn't pass up having a little fun with this.

Maybe it's based on his past experiences with Amazon. Some people have good experiences with Amazon, some don't. Some welcome new Amazon members, some don't. So on, and so forth.

Fact is, none of us know what was said on his phone call with Amazon. Maybe things were promised, maybe they weren't. Maybe the CS rep was rude, maybe she wasn't. We can speculate all day long, but unless they have the conversations on tape and release them, we will never know the truth.

I can swing a third

Swing a what?! Wow, I totally misread that.

 

[Alex2507]

I'm going in.

 

[Adam]

Porkins will be pleased.

 

[Alex2507]

She wants me off the computer.

I guess posting here isn't going to get the faucet installed any quicker.

Did you just call Cheryl...noooooo!





Btw, how can you not have installed that faucet, yet? I installed one on Saturday just to take video of it. But, then again, I'm cool like that.

At least unwrap it.

 

[Alex2507]

I also haven't shot high pressure water all over the under side of the cabinet ... but then again I'm cool like that.

I'm scared of plumbing. There ... I said it.

There is an upside to this.
In the three to five days this will take, and with the inability to wash dishes.
Think of all the cool take-out places you can try.

Work is so slow during this week.

 

[Alex2507]

I've got a water filter hooked up down there too ... I can't remember how to disconnect that.

I'm happy to help if I can. If you have a splitter coming off of the cold water line, then you shouldn't need to disconnect it. If you do need to, it might use push-fit connectors. The ones that I've used will release the feed tube when you press down on the circumferential disc that the tube pushes into, and then you pull the tube out.

Oh boy, I have to say changing faucets is my absolute least favorite activity, I actually asked my granite guy if we could somehow rig a hinge so that when I have to service the faucet we can just lift the counter like a hood, he said "NO", it would be cheaper to hire the most expensive plumber in the world everytime the faucet needs servicing... Which made sense at the time...
I would rather change a toilet in a strangers house than change one of the faucets in my master bathroom, the vanity has them tiny double doors with shelves around the plumbing, and deep under mount sinks with everything in the way, its a nightmare, thats why when I buy faucets I buy the absolute strongest best well made unit money can buy, because I don't ever want to change it...

Even if you are not a trademan, if this is the tool they invented to make it easier, you can imagine how much the job sucks to do...

Anyway Alex here is Mandy to teach you how to get er' done... there is a 30 second advertisement before the video but its worth it...

Well there's 20 minutes I'll never get back

 

[Alex2507]

No worries, I got it and I have that tool. Adam, would you start speaking English please? I appreciate the help but I should tell you that I wouldn't have gotten into this if there was anything less than certain success at the end of all this. I'm maintaining a failure rate of zero ... knock wood.

LOL, you can learn a lot from that site, how to put a thermostat on the wall, how to field strip a glock, they have hot girls doing all kinds of stuff, lol...

Don't get too over confident....... the faucet may have been damaged when she threw it at you on Christmas morning.
