Amazed By Our Own Skills...

So on Saturday while Kyle was running a few errands and Bella was taking her nap I was kind of bored.  I was doing the dishes and HATING our faucet, it's been broken for a while now and we had been planning on replacing it almost two years ago.  The entire project was going to be a replacement of the sink as well BUT due the idiocity of the guy who installed our sink it's not possible without replacing the countertop and we're just not ready to do that yet.

I thought, you know, it can't be THAT hard to replace a faucet, right?  I went to work on it telling myself that I would have it replaced by the time Kyle got home, haha, yeah right ;)

The shut off valves for the water under the sink were not working and I was frustrated, I had parts of the old faucet torn apart and EVERYTHING from under the sink all over the kitchen floor AND there was a constant slow flow coming from the faucet that I could not stop.  Kyle walked into the kitchen while talking to him mom and said, oh god, I just walked in the house and Steph had the faucet partly apart and crap everywhere!  I'm sure Ellie probably just laughed and knew that this problem would be fixed, she knows I can't let ANYTHING not work out :)

So I finally found our water meter and main shut off for the water to the house.  It kind of sucked that we had to do that BUT with Kyle's help we did it, and now have a lovely new faucet, YAY!! :)
