Well, darn…there goes my weekend plans.

Howdy folks, need some help with an old faucet. It’s a Moen (I think - see photo) one handle faucet. It was slowly leaking water out of the handle and the pressure dropped WAAAAY down. Replaced the cartridge (easy) and the leak stopped…but the pressure got worse. I noticed that while I was...
