When Your Kitchen Faucet Becomes a Water Feature

Back in 2004 Wendy and I were relatively poor and relatively new homeowners with a fixer upper of a house and we possessed relatively paltry home improvement skills. When we were faced with one of our kitchen sink's faucet knobs fracturing in our hand as we suggested the faulty knob turn the flow of water off, we were left using a wrench to operate the kitchen sink. This left us feeling a bit dejected, as if we had been magically transformed into a couple of urban hillbillies. 

A few days after our inherited faucet busted,Antique tubs we ventured out and purchased a reasonably priced replacement that would work in our existing sink, would operate reliably, and wouldn't look like it was more appropriate in a building outfitted in the classical stylings of Donald Trump than in our 19th century home. We knew this wasn't our "forever" faucet, so we just needed something that worked, but we didn't want it sticking out like a sore thumb.carbon sheet 

The Price Pfister pfaucet we purchatyres and wheels service & repair equipmentsed has pfunctioned nearly pflawlessly since the pfateful day when we pforced ourselves to take the bull by the horns and pfinally learn some much needed plumbing skills.After installing the faucet we felt like two very accomplished DIYers. This wasn't just painting something,Used excavator this was correcting an issue with our home that would have caused many to call a plumber. It was a victory in a very minor battle in the DIY war, but it felt great nonetheless. 

Today, nearly 10 years after installing our "not a forever faucet," it's worked relatively reliably for being a decidedly bargain purchase. Well, that is until a few weeks ago when our little faucet that could decided he was too good for our simple kitchen sink and would much rather begin performing in Vegas at the Bellagio as one of their world renowned fountains. 

When I posted the video on Instagram I joked that we'd be setting it to music and incorporating a light show, but as the leak kept getting worse,Clawfoot tub faucets I realized the faucet must have heard me and thought it was its big faucet break. Each time we used the kitchen sink we were spraying water all over the kitchen counter. This spray led to a leak beneath the kitchen sink, which began to soak Wendy's bag hoard, causing this disaster over the weekend.
