I'm Kinda Proud!

 My friend, Merilee, inspired me to

try to do things I don't think I can do.

It started like this.

Short, ugly, leaks and no sprayer thingie.

I needed Kyle's help to undo the plastic nuts

holding the faucet to the sink.

He said I could have done it.

But it was good to have his help.

Anyhow.

This morning, it looks like this!

I took the old faucet off,

put the new faucet on, and the center stem

was too big for the hole in the sink.

A quick trip to our really nice little

hardware store on Main Street

(with VERY nice people, I might add)

where we bought a Dremel .

(Ours is still in Florida but needs to be

replaced anyway - it is getting old.)

Kyle ground out the hole for a bit

and then I took over again.

Installation was quick and much easier

than I thought it was going to be.

And now I have a pretty new faucet

that does NOT leak, is tall enough for

me to get a large pan under

(since the sink is pretty shallow)

and has a sprayer thingie!!!

Oh the simple joys in life.

And Kyle put a new fan in my messy office

for me this morning.

I have to teach both morning and evening

classes for the next 3 weeks and those

windows face east, so it gets pretty

toasty in there in the morning.

YEA!
