and on that night, his Holiness appeared before us, like a vision in brilliant white light. (no, not the Buick!)
merry christmas!
Leaky part IV: Resolve
After work I went straight to Home Depot. The plumbing assistant there was sure that I needed a 1/2″ inlet for both valves. I kept protesting “but, but, but, all these guys online say I need 5/8″” After he left I thought “well, I’ll just buy both sizes, just in case.” I quickly discovered that […]
duh, hello generation Y (or am I X,… I have no idea)…
lord only knows why I didn’t try this sooner. My dad suspects it is 1/2″ inlet though – so we’ll find out tonight… stay tuned… At lunch today I was sitting there eating my “American Chicken Sandwich“, never feeling more patriotic (or was it idiotic?) in my life and I was thinking about how I […]

leaky
I’ve known that something was leaking in the kitchen sink for a while. Lately the amount of displaced water has gotten worse and worse so I did some investigating last night. After spending about half an hour prying off the washer (nut???) underneath I was able to pull up the faucet about four inches and […]
