never done it before, now you might be a little worried. So let's get to the straps. Manual. Let's see if there's anything funky in there. My guess is that the only thing that's good, yeah, the only thing it's going to say I think is that, you know, that's not really sort of obvious is that there's a deck plate and not a deck plate. So if your sink has three holes, you put the deck plate in. If your sink has one hole, you just use the, just use the faucet. But let's just take a look. In the beginning, there was package contents, and in theory, what you should do is go through and just make sure all the parts are there. I never seemed to do that. It just takes too much time, and the parts are always there now. It didn't used to be the case, but it is now. So, okay, so drop it in, crank the plastic coupler. That's not even a coupler.

And then that will leave grand total of one, oh, two things in here comes with an Allen key. That's going to be, I think, for the weight to clamp the weight down, I think, but I'm not sure. We'll find out. And then there's the plate. Now I need the plate because my sink has three holes. So that's what's in it. Anything in here? No, nothing. So let's show you the package, the box in case there's something in the box that you find interesting or on the box that you need to, that you want to check.
