Next lesson, start earlier so that the hardware store isn't closed when you accidently strip the pipe threads.

It SHOULD work but sometimes there are some unexpected outcomes. ;\)

ahh.. but I had already learned a little lesson from the 'plumbing for dummies' book I checked out from the library. After I disconnected the water lines from the old faucet, I installed shut off valves first on my sinks water lines.. so if I did have problems with what I installed new, I could shut off the water to it and turn it on to the rest of the house! \:\) THEN call the plumber in the morning.

But, no need for that phone call

sometimes I get lucky.. sadly it was with the plumbing LOL \:\)

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
