SINK FIXTURES DRIVING ME NUTS LATELY
Honestly, I’m not sold on these sensor or touch faucets in older homes. I tried swapping out a motion sensor for a touch model in my last place—looked simple on paper, but the wiring was a headache. Ended up needing to run a new ground because the old box wasn’t up to code. If your house is more than 30 years old, nothing’s ever just a “straight swap.” Sometimes I think sticking with a good ol’ manual lever is just less hassle in the long run... Less fancy, but way fewer surprises.

You’re not wrong—those “simple” upgrades in older homes almost always turn into a rabbit hole. I get the appeal of touch or sensor faucets, but honestly, unless you’re gut-renovating, they’re more trouble than they’re worth. I’ve seen friends spend a fortune chasing down electrical gremlins just to get a fancy tap working. Sometimes the classic lever just makes life easier... and you don’t need to worry about it refusing to work when your hands are covered in dough.

Totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve watched clients fall for the high-tech faucet hype, only to regret it after the third time it glitches. The classic lever isn’t glamorous, but it just works—especially in older homes where wiring can be a nightmare. Sometimes, simple really is better. If it ain’t broke...

Had a motion-sensor faucet once—thought I was living in the future until it started randomly turning on at 2am. Nothing like being woken up by the sound of running water and thinking your house is haunted. Give me a good old twist handle any day.
