Sink faucet leaks around the base. I have a spare waiting to go in.

Oh, and while I'm at it, last year I installed one of those GoWesty
pneumatic squeeze-ball foot-operated faucet on-off switches. It's handy
to have both hands free while the water's on, but there are times when
the foot switch is awkward, so set up the new faucet so that either
switch can turn it on.

And add a "kill" switch because if the foot bulb is mashed down too
firmly, the contained air blows out of the hose at the pressure switch
end up in the undersink cabinet and the switch will jam on in the "on"
position, necessitating a scramble under the sink to unplug the end of
the hose from the switch so the foot bulb can repressurize and pressed
again to turn off the water.
