Hey John. I guess it  helps to have these woodworking plummers on board. 

Yes sir it does!!!!!!!

I was going to say check the aerator but you got it fixed. Have to clean ours once in awhile.

I don't know why I do this most the time, I'm pretty good at fixing things but I automatically go straight to doom when these issues arise,

 

 

That.s me as well...must be something in our genes that make a lot of us do that.

Then I started looking closer inside the nozzle and saw a piece of black rubber stuck in the 1/4" diameter filter connection and it was plugging up the works.-------it detached from somewhere and shot up into the screen and plugged it all up.

John --,  in my limited experience with changing out plumbing----sometimes the washer in the shut-off valve dislodges or breaks and when you turn the valve back on the piece migrates up the line. A quick check is to turn the shut-off back off and see if you still get a flow from the faucet. if yes, then the washer is shot. if no, then you had a different problem.

 

Along the same line---the screw that holds the washer usually corrodes to the point that it doesn't hold the washer. Removing the stub of the screw is a real PITA.

I'll perform the check Smitty, thanks!

I believe @Gunny calls it "paralysis by analysis".

That would seem to be a most  Gunny like saying!

My mind (alleged  as it is) works slightly differently. I would be telling my family that the water bill had gotten high enough that something had to be done about it, and it was a water savings faucet I installed.

I haven't ever left!!

The kitchen hot water gets low on pressure and flow once in awhile. Took off the supply hose and there was a big piece of rust blocking the opening. I used a small screw driver to break it apart, flushed it out and now it's fine. Happens every once in awhile but what do you expect from a 100+ year old house.

much more than that Harry! Sounds like your home is doing well for its age.
