And I can think of so many options that would weigh far less on you... It's always an honor to work with the incredible Sonoa — truly one of the best bands in the NJ scene right now! Here's the art I created for their new single "Suitcase" which is out today!

Step-by-Step Guide to Kitchen Faucet Installation in Spring Lake Homes

Installing a new kitchen faucet can be a quick and satisfying DIY project that refreshes your space and improves functionality. Whether you're in Spring Lake or anywhere else, this guide is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts ready to tackle kitchen faucet installation spring lake.

By following these straightforward steps, you can ensure a successful kitchen sink repair in Spring Lake or anywhere your cozy home might be.

Preparing for Installation

Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools and materials. You'll need an adjustable wrench, plumber's tape, a basin wrench, and of course, your new kitchen faucet.

Ensure the faucet you’ve chosen is compatible with your sink's layout – be it a single hole or a multi-hole configuration.

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

Locate the valves under the sink that control the water supply to the faucet. These are typically chrome or plastic knobs. Turn them clockwise to shut off the water. Once off, turn on the old faucet to release any remaining water and pressure from the lines.

Step 2: Disconnect Water Lines

Place a bucket underneath to catch any dripping water. Use the adjustable wrench to disconnect the water supply lines from the faucet. Keep a towel handy for any excess water that spills out.

Step 3: Remove the Old Faucet

With the basin wrench, loosen the nuts securing the old faucet under the sink. These may be tight and difficult to reach, but patience and the right tool will get the job done. Once loosened, remove the faucet from above the sink.

Installing the New Faucet

Step 1: Clean the Mounting Surface

Before installing your new faucet, clean the area where the old faucet sat. Remove any grime, sealant, or rust to ensure a smooth installation of your new kitchen fixture.

Step 2: Position the New Faucet

Thread the lines of your new faucet through the mounting holes in your sink. Most kitchen faucets come with a built-in gasket to seal the base. If yours does not, apply plumber’s tape or silicone under the deck plate for a water-tight seal.

Step 3: Secure the Faucet

From under the sink, screw on the washers and mounting nuts that came with your new faucet. Tighten them by hand and then with the basin wrench, being careful not to overtighten and damage the fittings. Ensure the faucet is aligned correctly above the sink before final tightening.

Step 4: Connect the Water Supply Lines

Wrap plumber's tape around the threads of the water supply valves for a leak-free connection. Reconnect the supply lines to the faucet, matching hot to hot and cold to cold. Use the adjustable wrench to tighten these connections securely.

Step 5: Turn the Water Supply On

Slowly turn the water supply valves counterclockwise to restore the water. Check both the top of the sink and the connections underneath for any signs of leaks. Adjust as necessary.

Step6: Remove the Aerator and Test

Before using your new faucet at full flow, remove the aerator (if your model has one). This is usually the piece where the water comes out.

Turning on the faucet without the aerator allows any debris trapped in the lines to flush out without clogging. After a few minutes, turn off the faucet, reattach the aerator, and you’re done!

Final Thoughts

Congratulations, you’ve successfully completed a kitchen faucet installation in your Spring Lake home! Not only have you added a fresh element to your kitchen's appearance, but you've also increased the value and functionality of your space. DIY home improvement projects like kitchen sink repair in Spring Lake don’t just save money; they offer a rewarding sense of achievement.

If you encounter any difficulties or prefer professional assistance for your kitchen faucet installation, don't hesitate to reach out to a local Spring Lake plumber.

AIR QUALITY WARNING

Hey fellow Northeasterners on Turtle Island, aka the USA and Canada! Recent wildfires are spreading smoke and dangerous air conditions across New England. I only realized this because of social media, so I'm spreading the news further with maps for visuals. Things are officially UNHEALTHY so everyone needs to be careful, especially anyone with heart or lung conditions.

If you're in NY, MA, RI, CT, NJ, etc, please be careful!

Close your windows (consider sealing them if it's really bad)

Wear respirator masks (ex N95s) outside

Turn on air filters if you've got them

Use fans inside to keep cool and keep air moving

Check for air coming in around window AC units! You can probably still use your AC, but remember that their filters generally don't block smoke.

Remember, wildfire smoke doesn't just include burnt up trees but can include all kinds of hazardous materials, so the less outside air inside your house the better. If you've got any DIY Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes around for COVID-19 filtration, they excel at filtering out other dangerous particles too. Here's a diagram for making one, :

Also, try to avoid strenuous activities (ex moving furniture, climbing lots of stairs, etc) and listen to your body's needs. If you need to lay down and do nothing for a while, go for it. Stay hydrated, especially if your throat is getting scratchy! If you've got asthma, make sure your meds are close by.

Take care of yourselves and each other out there!

-----------

6/7/23 UPDATE:

Thought I'd add more context and sources for people to look up their own areas! The above map shows the current outbreak of wildfires across the West Coast and Midwest, versus the huge plumes of smoke traveling across the north, middle, and east of the continent, including Mexico. Click the source link to explore the map yourself.

It's hard to know what to say about his house b/c it's a little chaotic. It was built in 1965, which would make it mid-century modern, but I think it's gone thru some transformations since then. It's in Chesterfield, New Jersey, has 3bds, 3ba, and after only 12 days on the market a sale is already pending. $799K.

For instance, here's an example of one hall. Rustic.

And, here's another. Modern/mosaics. (Where the hell are we?)

We're in a bathroom.

Rounded shower tucked in a corner. Look at the stone wall.

This is the main room in the A-Frame part of the house. It looks like a ski chalet. I like the fireplace and the balcony.

I'm so confused.

There's an enclosed porch. Clearly, the owners didn't know how to decorate it to it's full potential.

Look at how disjointed the ceiling is- a balcony in the middle, random openings, it's weird.

I like the cabinets and the rounded kitchen. But, that's where it stops.

It looks like someone made a cooktop- it's like a table with a tile top and burners. It's got to be a DIY thing.

At the top of the stairs is this small office area.

There's a balcony.

Plus, an enclosed porch.

The view from the balcony- as you can see, it doesn't go all the way around.

One of the bedrooms w/built-in dressers.

And, this looks like another bedroom with built-in chests.

Not lovin' the stairs in here.

Then there's a higher level with a small sleep loft.

Nice rec room in the basement- like the fireplace.

Industrial looking shower down here. Look at the cement walls and exposed electric.

The back of the house looks like they added things on.

Then, back here it looks like a pretty A-Frame.

So, I guess that the balcony leads to this patio next to the roof.

There are also some outbuildings on the property.

This one has a big workshop.

Lots of land, though - 6.7 acres.

Images from Fallout Shelter Handbook 1962.

Build a FALLOUT SHELTER, not a SNOWMAN! #OTD 1961: JFK urges Americans to build bomb shelters By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

#OTD 1961, JFK urged Americans to build shelters for protection from radioactive fallout in the event of a nuclear war - and he promised the government would help. See tips, smiling citizens, and a DIY video below.

Letter from JFK to the Civil Defense Committee 1/6/1961, JFK Library.

“Survival Supplies for the Well-Stocked Fallout Shelter”! NARA ID 542103.

Try this DIY Project! Walt Builds a Family Fallout Shelter! Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, NARA ID 61040, online here.

“I spent a few evenings on it (the shelter) and a couple of weekends. It’s not so hard, anyone who’s not all thumbs can do it. And here’s the way for anybody to do just what I did!”

Happy Walt provides step-by-step DIY guidance:

Outline the shelter space

Mix the mortar

Remove furniture before the final wall is put up

Optional: paint the shelter to please your significant other!

Remember: it’s a multi-purpose room, NOT just a fallout shelter! Other uses:

An extra bedroom

A room for grandchildren

A normal non-nuclear shelter against natural disasters

A photo darkroom!

Shelter built by Louis Severance, Akron, MI. “Ever since I was convinced what damage H-Bombs can do, I’ve wanted to build the shelter. Just as with my chicken farm, when there’s a need I build it.” Online here.
