Hello,
Leroy told me last night that he is
having no trouble filling in his time off. And I thought he might miss me
because I worked yesterday. Instead, he ran some errands and put a new faucet in
our kitchen. Our landlord suggested it and assured Leroy that he would take
full responsibility for anything that might go wrong. Those two amateur plumber
guys made a trip to the store, asked a lot of questions of their helpful clerk,
came back home, stopped the water, took out the old faucet, cleaned up the
space, replaced the water shut off valve, and put in the new.
It works great including the sprayer.
The old sprayer only got half of the water. The new faucet looks lovely, works
easily and does not spray water in my face. Course the old unit only sprayed
water at me occasionally, lulling me into a sense of false security before it blasted
forth again. Now who could ask for more? I am so pleased. I do have to be a bit
gentler with the new. I am accustomed to using a certain amount of force to
turn on the water. I will have to mend my ways as I do not want to damage my
new lovely unit.
Leroy was also pleased to get the
faucet and to be able to help put it in without much difficulty. I guess if the
shut off valve had not leaked it would have been a simple job. Our landlord and
Leroy had complimentary tools so it all worked well; perhaps their skill sets
were complimentary as well. I asked Leroy if they were ready to form a small
company. He thought rather emphatically, no. Small satisfactions in life are to
be savored and not expanded beyond reality.
Only the person who experiences the
improvement can appreciate it in full measure. Appreciating, appreciating!
Paula
