Hello AT,
Has anyone ever installed a bathroom lav faucet (specifically, a Delta-brand faucet)? I want to replace mine with something more up-to-date, and although my landlady has graciously offered to pay for the faucet and take care of the installation, she is a bit preoccupied with some serious family issues at the moment, and I don't want to bother her--or wait, for that matter! I'm considering tackling this project myself....

The current faucet is a Delta, so I'm thinking about replacing it with one of the same brand to simplify things and keep my expenses low while I'm waiting for her to reiumburse me. I went to the company's web site and found this installation video, which makes the process seem pretty straightforward.
I'm a pretty handy girl, but I want to make sure that I'm not getting myself in too deep with this project. Does anyone have any advice? Should I just try to be patient and wait for the pros to take care of it? And how about replacing a tub/shower faucet (which seems to be a much more daunting task)?
FYI, the faucet is on a cultured marble vanity top with integrated sink (which I'm stuck with, but it's not too bad). I seem to have plenty of room to manuever in the cabinet below. The supply lines are the flexible type, which I think also would help. The carriage house I live in is only 6 years old, so I shouldn't encounter anything too strange.
What does everyone think?
Thanks!

I think the changes-to-a-rental thing really depends upon the individual situation. I have usually had apartments where I have made various improvements and it was fine with the landlord/landlady (they were always people, not corporations). But on the other hand, we have friends who rented out their personal house for a year while out of the country and the tenants have made a lot of horrifying changes and bad paint jobs to what is really our friends' home, despite changes being forbidden in the rental agreement. So it all depends...
