OK, you posted a lot of stuff that was no doubt challenging and time
consuming.

To me, that was the most impressive. One trip? You should apply for
your master's license. I am wrestling with a plumber now at a
client's house that can't get a brand new Moen single handle installed
so it doesn't leak somewhere inside or outside of the wall.

I am a lousy plumber. If I had repaired a 35 year old fixture in one
trip for parts I would have taken the rest of the day off!!

OK, I cheated. I had to repair the one downstairs (just like it) 10
years ago. If I have to
make a trip to get 2 faucet washers I get 4. Same with street ells, O
Rings, etc. So I still had the flat washers and one set of O rings to
fit. The little skinny O rings on the outside is what I had to get.
I musta used my spares somewhere else in the past 10 years.
