I feel your pain! Been there-done that. I know why plumbers get paid as the do. Seems like all plumbing requires getting in awkward tight places.Just installed a new kitchen faucet this afternoon. I can attest that it gets harder to do each time...... My best helpful hint is to lay on an ironing board that is put into the cabinet --- much easier on the back and neck!
Probably won't know the final 'oowwwwww!' score until the morning!
