Well, all done and finished up. I had to buy some putty for the drain and the pop up. I also replaced the metal lines with those braided ones and it all looks pretty good except there's a slight lightness all around where the old faucet was. The countertop seems to have darkened itself over the years???
Well, it worked the very first time, no leaks, no mess. Thanks for the advice all, my dad was impressed I got answers to my questions so quickly from people not being paid
