I have been wanting a new bathroom sink fixture, but it had to have a long spout to reach the center of the sink. The one that is on the sink is not the right one for that type of sink, with the water on low, it runs onto the top of the sink.
The other day I went thrift store shopping with my youngest sister, one of the places we stopped had a box of nice looking Delta bathroom sink faucets, a box of two for 2 dollars, I bought a box. It is the above picture.
We took the old one out and replaced it with this one and I was surprised that everything went as it should....I should not have thought that thought, I went in the bathroom an hour later and the cold water side was leaking, Since I had two in the box, my husband took the other one apart and we replaced it, and no leak.
I got up this morning and it is again leaking. We got a new part from Home Depot but it looks nothing like the one in it, as the second to last resort I will try it, but for right now, I am swapping parts from the extra faucet that I bought and hoping I get the right combo to fix it.
I think my husband is done with buying at thrift stores. A few weeks ago we bought a microwave and it did not work. I do not know why someone would donate a broken item.
