THAT'S the final piece of the puzzle JD! You rock! :D

Now, I just had a thought...wouldn't it be ironic (and just my luck since I already cut everything off) if the washer inside of the new supply line was the ONLY ONE to fit and solve my original problem??? :roll: :shock: :roll:

I think my head might explode if this was the case! :lol:

Seriously though, thank you guys SO MUCH...I really appreciate all the help!

Hey guys,

So replaced the shut-off valves and the water supply connections to the hot and cold with the Brasscraft products JD recommend. Had a bit of a leak on the COLD shut-off but that was fixed by tightening a bit more.

However, now my faucet drips when I shut the cold water off at the faucet. If I close the shut-off valve it doesn't leak and it it is not leaking anywhere else. Just dripping at the faucet, which of course, it didn't do before. Now what??? :roll:

Well,

Bought a new faucet and it solved that problem. It was about 6 years old and used daily so I think the valve was shot. Thanks for all the help again guys! :)

Yeah, it was probably time to fix or change that faucet. Good luck on your next project!
