Miss Fix-it

On the tail of the successful (yet embarassing) cup removal from the garbage disposal, I decided to take on the bathroom sink. It has had a drip for some time, that has gotten increasingly worse. I took off the aerator (sp?) and took that washer into the hardware store. They told me that was not going to solve the leak, and asked what type of faucet I had. I replied the ugly ones that came with the house, they laughed, and showed me where I might find what I need. I saw some replacement parts on the aisle that sparked my memory and I was able to tell them the brand. They got me the right parts and made me keep the receipt in case it didn't work, making sure to tell me to turn off the water to the sink before I started. Got it done in no time, only to turn the water back on to the house (there isn't a shut-off under my sink like there is the toilet, a future to-do), the sink was running non-stop. So, I took it apart again, put it back together, and it worked! I think I was unsuccessful the first time cause I wasn't showing any crack (a first, especially at home!). Tomorrow is the other bathroom, and then more supplies for the kitchen! Like my bathroom theory, it is best to change all at once!
