It's never the install that's hard

It is getting the old one off.  That was painful.  Stripped the phillips head screw that held the thing on but fortunately the screw was also set to match a socket I had on hand and I used the wrench to get it started.  Upside down.  And backwards.  In heels.  Me and Ginger.

The new one went on with no problems and no leaks.  It is nice:

Now we can more easily put Toby in the sink for his bath

A $90 kitchen improvement.  And I'm recovered from all the twisting and shoulder wrenching.  Should be good for a while.

I think I'm a couple of years past you. I've reached the age where I say "Nope! Totally worth paying somebody else to lie on on their back wielding heavy tools and getting soaked".

I came close when I stripped the screw. But I'm stubborn.

What's the purpose of the brushlike thingies on there?

That actually pops on and off. It is a little brush ring that is for helping wash dishes. I suspect we'll remove it and put it in a drawer.
