Same here. It's kind of (or perhaps actually IS) _mise en place_ - you should optimize everything you need to cook before actually starting a new dish.

I LOVE the improvement videos and I also rent an apt. & would love to change faucet! That's how I found you! My LL just sold the house to someone but she's keeping me as a tenant. I hope she doesn't mind the change & I will save the old one. Thank you for this video!

Definitly would welcome more "how to improve your kitchen" videos every now and then. For some the ideas are common sense, for others perhaps inspiration to do that thing they wanted to do and for some its a source of ideas. I'm sure there's ideas that can help someone.

I have been thinking about replacing my tragically old, and slightly leaky, faucet for a long time now, and this video just gave me the nudge to make the jump. Thanks!

I replaced my 20 yr old faucet last year. The hardest part was getting up off the floor. After it was done, I wondered why I waited so long because, as you said, the new one brings me a lot of joy in the kitchen.

This was the perfect tutorial for what I need to replace my kitchen faucet. So easy to follow.

THANK YOU FOR THISSS!!!! I hate my apartment faucet it's so old school and doesn't even have a sprayer lol I'm definitely doing this!!!

Make sure you keep the old one, the apartment complex will charge your security deposit if you leave the nice one in when you leave.

I wanted to like this, I really did... But without the pickled onions, it's just not the same...

Straight truth about your kitchen (or any other space) bringing you joy. Obviously not everyone can make the kitchen they have “theirs” but it really helps

I have been looking at apartments with nice sinks for so long & I could’ve just been doing this? THANK YOU SO MUCH

You need one of those tubes of silicon or something to create a waterproof layer around the base. It also helps keep the base in place.

There's a gasket underneath the plate cover that should keep it waterproof, but if I notice issues I'll get a sealant. I wanted to make it easy to remove since I'm only renting!

Ethan Chlebowski run a bead of silicone around the base to keep water from leaking under and causing the rust and grime issues you had on the old one. Silicone is super easy to remove when you need to replace the faucet again. You won’t regret it!

@uclatimsta

@@EthanChlebowski That gasket generally speaking is trash and should not be trusted to keep water splashes from dripping down the main hole where the faucet stem is placed. Even just a periodic drip can cause the cabinets to warp or even worse develop mildew/mold. I'd suggest putting a sheet pan under there for the time being and check it after a large load of sink usage so see if you are getting any moisture dripping through. As mentioned by others a bead of silicone around the gasket will provide a permanent solution. It's really easy to remove with a putty knife if you have to change the faucet back when you move and will ensure not losing your deposit over cabinet replacements.

This is the exact faucet I bought before I even watched your video! I got it on sale for $59 now! This will make installing the faucet even more easier, thank you!

This is why I love this channel so much! Yes, I enjoy the recipe videos, but I love how you also show us how to improve our general cooking environment and experience (like the previous moveable kitchen island video). Thanks Ethan! I'll definitely keep this in mind when I move into my new apartment in a few weeks

I think that's some advice I'm definitely going to use when I've got my own place to worry about. If you're not waking up in a place that gives you clarity and joy, just make it do that

Hey Ethan, I want to chime in and say I love when you've done these kinds of videos. There's so much more to cooking than JUST the cooking aspect and it's nice that you address things like kitchen organization and improvements. I'm currently shopping around for a new faucet for my kitchen and rather than looking up other videos, I went straight to yours because you demonstrate how simple it is even for noobs.

I like this! Home improvements are definitely welcome. A more efficient and prettier kitchen makes for more joyful cooking! Bring as many as you want. Even in other places.

Thanks for another detailed, easy-to-follow improvement video! I first caught on to your knife sharpening instructional and found it immensely helpful, as well as a bunch of other tips and tricks that you've shared. I really appreciate the concise information and demonstration of the things you do to better your cooking and living experience, as well as how detailed you are in the descriptions. I love your channel and wish you the best!

I love your content Eathen. It gave me so much inspiration and I've only been following you for a few days. Chapeau!

Never expected my favorite cooking KZreadr to be teaching me how to change my family’s faucet. 😂 But thank you!

You're one of the few cooking you tubers who addresses one of the most important parts of cooking, the clean up process

Thanks I just installed a new faucet that had been sitting there for my husband to install for 3 weeks. 💪🏼

Like the foray into new content

Gotta love videos like this. The guy does this like it's just another something to do because he's bored. Bare feet, shorts and two tools. Easy on easy off. No problems, no stuck bolts or water lines. No knuckle busting up under the sink while your body is twisted like not since the last time you played the game "Twister". And of course no cussing, easy peasy! 😄😆😅

Thank you so much for this. I'm going to switch mine out this weekend.

I’m about to install this exact same faucet. Thank you for this! Extremely helpful.

Now that's pretty epic

Love this video it makes me appreciate that faucet even more than I already did!

Im glad found this video. I got the same faucet.

So nice! Thanks I love videos that simple and get right to the point! Excellent job bro

so helpful! definitely doing this when im off this weekend!

I replaced mine today with the similar one from WEWE. I didn't have hot water in my sink for a year. Removing the old 23 yr old faucet was the time consuming part. I was about to call service for it, but finally unscrewed with a little more Monica Seles Grunt. Wow water pressure is amazing for $50 faucet. I want to now get this same faucet and use it in my bathroom.

I love that this was short and sweet, unique content compared to other cooking YT channels, and is one of those small but really impactful changes you can make. I'd love to see more like this as others have said. Maybe even ones as trivial as what your cleaning routine is like so it doesn't feel like a chore when you wait too long.

Thank you!! Short and sweet!!!

I dig it please do more of these

Ethan, I love these videos man. I like how you do both the cooking videos and the various kitchen upgrades/repairs (like the DIY table on wheels).

This was great ! You showed that a happy work space will make you happy, and that something scary like changing a facet, isn't as scary as one thinks ! As always... you are awesome !

I have a new faucet waiting for a plumber. After watching this, I believe I shall do it myself. Thanks.

I'm moving into a new apartment in a couple of days and I hate the kitchen faucet. I feel more confident about replacing it myself after watching this video.

WOWOWOWOWOW PICKLED ONIONSSSS!!!!!!! followed right away

Not used to seeing this type of video without at least one bored wife interrupting everything. Thought I’d never get to see someone finally finish off the job in hand!

Teflon tapes are the best for any threaded nut and bolt jobs for joining in plumbing.

Very cool! I just got the exact same one today and am heading to the University of KZread to install it! this was perfect! Thank you and your kitchen is bringing me joy! Soon mine will too!

I also changed my faucet around February. It’s a fixed length silicone faucet you can move around in different angles. So easy to do the dishes now! 😁

Man your old videos are gold .. really good job for creating a proffesional content even when you didnt get much views

EXCELLENT video!! I really dislike my kitchen tap so this will help me! Thank youuu

Thanks for the tut!

i've been binge-watching your videos and you're definitely one of my favorite youtubers

I love your ideas! Keep it going

I guess i have a good faucet because i have the exact same one!

I've replaced a few faucets in my day and I'll give you a secret - towels work MUCH better than bowls to catch the drips. And you were extremely lucky if your faucet nut came unscrewed as easily as you made it look. A couple of bruised knuckles are usually my payment for changing a faucet! Also, thumbs up to the people who said silicone sealer and teflon tape.

LOVE the video. I'm a total DIY guy and I forgot just how easy it is to do this upgrade which I've done before in a rental. it only enhances the place so it should present no problem with your lease. it in fact ADDS to the value of a rental property if you do it right and end up moving. ya landlord should thank you !!!

Wow! This looks doable even for me... Thank you much for sharing! Home Depot here I come!

Just bought a similar version from Kraus. Can't wait until it's installed.

Wow that looks so easy

Ethan, I'm glad you made this video because most videos on this topic are cheesy manufacturer's promos that gloss over the details, or they're made by people who don't have a lot of credibility. So thanks for this.

Ethan, I just discovered your channel and I must say I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of your work. Clear, concise and entertaining. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more. Cheers 👍

Love this video

That was pretty cool to watch, one day I will try this.

To prevent that gunk from building up under the cover you can just run a bead of silicone around to create a water proof seal. You can get one that is clear to match the faucet but just make sure it’s labeled for bathroom/kitchen use

This was helpful! Thx

Great video!!

I love this kind of content!!

Need to replace my kitchen faucet. It's leaky and loose and I'm pretty sure it's rusted and grimed together so the faucet doesn't turn independently anymore. This showed up on my recommended so now I'm gonna buy a faucet to install this weekend.

Ethan->Ethan, I installed almost the exact same faucet last year. Still love it.

Great video Ethan!

Awesome vid man. Good content diversity.

I like these kinds of videos. I think you should keep doing them. Appreciate your content keep up the vids bro.

Yes. Like this. More such kitchen efficiency DIY vids please....

This is the video that made me hit subscribe.

This is great

Videos like this and the mobile countertop video you did are very fun and useless. I feel as if there's not many kitchen hardware videos out there and I find your content really fun and useful my guy.

I want the same faucet u have but in stainless steel to match the appliances…this was very helpful

I subbed to this channel after your video on how you constructed your table, so it's nice to see you going back to your roots 😂

Missing one part that I've noticed in most faucet change videos like these and this one missed it but can be added later. Teflon tape. It's cheap. $1 - $2. Why need it? To wrap the threading before joining and it prevents the threads being connected from possible seizing over time plus it can also help too also for the possible of leaking from the threads when joining back to the old supply lines too. Seizing of the threads joining to the supply line depends if you have hard water that can overtime be harder to separate. If you have soft water. Not much worry on the threads but still possible leaks if not tighten right. Teflon tape.

Cool video!

Good job. I tackled the same task not long ago with another brand of the same style faucet. Also installed a reverse OSMOSIS system, pretty easy if not time consuming. Like building an IKEA furniture for the first time.

Thanks for this video! Also thanks for showing how you dont need to be matchy matchy with the finishes in the kitchen. I wondered how a matte black faucet would look with chrome cabinet pulls. Looks great!

I love you broski please keep doing what you're doing

a personal tip from me: nearly anything can be removed from non-cast iron pots and pans with pure sodium carbonate or another pure alkaline (any soluble hydroxide or carbonate should do). just put some powder in the pot, pan or baking sheet to cover the bottom, put a little bit of water in there and heat it for some time (like 30 mins or something). everything should come off easily then

@zuthalsoraniz6764

First is to clean as you go - if you have used something that you won't be using again during the cooking process (say, cutting board after you have done all your cutting), and there is some amount of downtime while something simmers or such, just use that time to clean up, it makes the amount of cleanup you have to do at once after eating a lot less. Also, clean things as soon as possible in general - food residues become a lot harder to clean up once they are dried in. And I find that for the majority of things, just running the pan under hot water is enough if it is not dried-in, or if that isn't enough then a light application of dish soap and elbow grease will do the trick. Though I also use some pretty good nonstick pans, so that certainly helps.

Installed the exact same faucet on my DIY kitchen upgrade as well! Also usually landlords seem to be ok if you spend money on things that upgrade their places for them, in my experience anyway :)

Excellent job. No doubts. Good point for renters...check out the agreement. Could you turn your viewer's on to Terragon and butter lemon colossal shrimp and emphasis on not overcooking

I think your landlord should credit you the $89 for making it a better sink area!

Thank you!!!!!

I just bought this faucet then found this video. Thanks! Also you got a great deal, I paid $150 on sale.

Very nice

Just dropping a comment here for the algorithm and to say that I live the idea behind this video, so would love to see more kitchen improvements like this. Also, that faucet in particular is very sexy, nice choice!

I didn't realize it was that simple or I would have replaced the faucet in my sink. Well, that house is sold so I'll keep this in mind for my future house. Please do more kitchen improvement stuff like this.

I've replaced the faucet twice in my current home and both my prior rentals. The lease companies at the apartments had no complaints on the upgrades. We have a big kholer drop in now that fits whole sheet pans like nothing. So nice.

@@EthanChlebowski that does depend a little on the faucets and particular sink though. Some are really a pain to get the nut on and off for the faucet. But most aren't bad.

I actually was most surprised that you were able to get that style of faucet for only $90. When I was replacing my faucet last year, that style of faucet was like $150+. Just one simple suggestion would be to Teflon tape those hose connections to help stop any possible future leaks.

Just a guess, no offense to him, but it could be a lower build quality since he only needs it to last while he's renting.

The how was clear, but the why was quite brief. It'd be nice to know how that design of faucet might be better than other faucet designs. Great work space though!

Cool!

Lol I have the same faucet from amazon, I even appreciated the nice packaging!
