Three Easy Steps

The Delta kitchen faucet "installs in 3 easy steps". The map-like fold-out instructions indicate 4 steps. I ignored this blatant warning.
According to Delta, it will take about 1 hr to install the new faucet. I had an hour and it needed to be done. Besides, I've done this before.
After 1 hour, I had the cupboard cleared out, wrenches ready. Turn off the water supply. Check. Remove old faucet. Check. Another hour gone. Laying inside the cupboard, not a great idea. But once the old tap's out, there's no turning back.
Install the new one. Check. Connect the water supply. Check.
Turn on the water. Ooops, turn off the water. Get old towels to soak up water. Get flashlight. Get batteries for flashlight. Confirm location of leak. Lay in the cupboard. Keep the bucket handy. Tape and tighten. Rest. Tighten. Rest. Tighten. Rest. Design feather-light-weight wrenches in your mind. No....more....strength.
Turn on water supply. Note very minor leak at one supply tube. Tape with duct tape. Call Joe. Reflect upon his statement that wearing baggy pants doesn't make you a plumber.

Along comes Lju. Turns off water. Tightens connection. Turns water supply on. Done. Three easy steps.
