You don't have the patients so you made some w/ a sawzall? That's no way to operate.
Final product looks good.

Obviously she wanted a new faucet. They do make replacement seals and cartridges to stop leaks.

With all the new battery models on the market, I still love the heavy duty model electric Sawzall. One in its box, almost new sold for $45.00 at todays Flea Market. I tried to convince my friend Joe to buy it. He didnt.

Wouldn't you still have to go under to unscrew the base and lines anyways?

I've done the same thing. The water lines were easy to get off, but the nut holding the faucet on was corroded on solid. Good job getting it off and the new one looks great.

Sawzalls work removing toilet seats as well. If you're not picky about etching up the porcelain a little. When a friend was an apprentice plumber, sent into a retirement home to replace 200 toilet seats, he was going with the Sawzall by the 2nd one ...
When the nuts are on 8" centers, you have to cut above the rubber plate seal; in the old days, before that gasket became common, all faucets set on a bed of plumbers putty; no room to cheat a blade into there.
Hollow shaft nut drivers with Channellocks on them will work; as no plumber would happen to be carrying the right extra-deep socket and ratchet.
