Check out the job that I was about this afternoon!
The idea was to take a few minutes in put in a new kitchen faucet tap. I was also going to insert some taps under the sink that would allow me to shut off the water while I worked on the sink.
As I went about the work, I remembered why I had declined to take on this task seven years ago. I found this was going to be more work than it might be worth!
I had to take out the sink (not a usual thing in replacing taps). Which created a small flood. And then I had to find a way to saw off some of the pipe. And then put the sink back in – sturdy enough to not move. And then attach the kitchen faucet tap tightly enough to not move. All this while recognizing that the work space was mere centimeters, not inches or even feet. And of course, this is all being done upside down looking into the sky (or the bottom of the sink!).
Five hours later the task is done. If I can be proud – here I am!! Of course, I’ll check for leaks again tomorrow.
The saga may not yet be over!!
Wow, you are a brave man to take on a plumbing job ! Quite frankly I am glad I was not there to watch ! You never know when you start a job like that just what it might lead to (especially on a holiday wknd !!) .
