. I'll clean everything there. I hope there is enough space to install a new faucet. This is an 8-inch. With a PEX A fitting. I have some great PEX A fittings at ProPress for this. I'll show you this crane mount. This is a good solution if you don't want to drill into the wall. I really don't want to drill through brick. This is where it will come in handy. Well, let's finish. The time has come. Come with me. To work.
