Kitchen Faucet

The Towle house needed a new faucet - well the Towle House has needed one for a loooonnng time, but money being in short supply a lot of the time, a kitchen faucet was at the bottom of the list.

The time finally arrived to look for one. One was located at Menard's that the Female half of the Towle house really liked. To make it an even better purchase, it was on sale for a very good price. The Female half asked the Male half at the Towle House if he could install such a faucet. Without hesitation the answer was yes. The purchase was made.

Then the real problems started. The Male half indicated he would need eyes and the Female half stated "No problem". She would be the eyes. Three hours the first day was spent - the old faucet was removed and the new one was out of the box. Yea!!

Day two of the installation dawned and Male and Female halves were on the job early by 7:30am. Broke for lunch around 11:30am. Finally at 6:30pm the faucet was installed. There were only a few problems.

Female half asked at a minimum of 5 - 7 times "Are you sure you don't want me to call Derek or Brett to come help?"

Female half stood in the kitchen praying a lot of the time while the Male half was half in under the sink talking - not to the Female half - just talking. Never did figure that out.

Male half said, guess we have to take the sink out to get this installed. That created another problem all by itself. The sink was originally installed 32+ years ago and really didn't want to come out. With persuasion however the sink finally complied - it was removed - the faucet was installed - the sink was re-installed and the water was turned on - there weren't any leaks and the the Male half said - "Well that wasn't as easy as it used to be." No kidding was the Female half's comment.

14 hours to install a faucet that when the Male half had good eyes could have probably been completed in an hour - check. Faucet is really nice - check. Works great - check. Female half not sure she will ever ask for another home improvement in this lifetime - check. Keeping all this to herself - without a doubt - check!!

All's well that ends well!!!
