Another home update diy faucet

I decided to spend my Valentine's Day changing the faucets in my home. The only one I didn't complete successfully was my guest bath. When I shut the valves off I noticed the water was leaking  so I didn't proceed with the install. and right now I'm kind of glad I didn't because I am considering exchanging one (I bought the same fixture for both bathrooms.)..., for a oil bronze one for the master bath and move the new master one to the guest bath. What inspired that you may ask... First, I realize the piping was copper under the sink and then i realized I had  cheapest(buildegrade) fixtures. Then I start searching online to see how invloved the project is. My confidence was high since I just successfully did my lights; again I went to YouTube & watch how to videos; it seems just as easy as the lights because all you're doing is connecting two ends. So I went to Lowes and Home Depot. I ended up getting my kitchen faucet from Lowe's and then the bathrooms I got from Home Depot. I also bought the supply lines & bought a wider wrench and a basin wrench (but never used it). I came home with that at first and realize I couldn't even get the plastic holders turn off the screws to undo the fixture. So I went back to Home Depot which was a nightmare because the traffic on a weekend. The dogs enjoyed it since they got to go for a car ride. I bought the

The stores plumbing super wrench, that's made for faucet removal, it was 20 bucks (well worth it, so much easier to get everything uninstalled and reconnected.) 

So, First I decided to tackle the kitchen sink since that was the most expensive one I bought &also the one most desperate in need of upgrading. 

The before 

I spent well over an hour trying to pull out the faucet because trying to get all three of the tubes for hot water, cold water & spray hose through the 1 hole was hard! I did check the night before so I knew I had a four whole sink.

The faucet I bought works with any # of holes sink. Above I had already installed the soap dispenser that comes with the new faucet set. And here it is below all finished and on to prove I have it working. I also checked underneath for any leaks and didn't feel any water or see anything after minute(s) water running. 

Hot & cold all work. Below is all the other pictures from the masterbath before and after. 

The guest bath will have to wait for another day, once I Google what the valve shut off leaking needs/means and if I need to call a real plumber or not. Which will give me time to decide if I really want to switch the new master bath and exchange the other one for the oil bronze one that was $$$. (i'm thinking I will and then since it will really be the last of any extra money I have)

so this will probably be the last home update for a while. And live here just over a year and a half and it's taken me this long to do it.
