Well, I can officially add "kitchen faucet replacement" to my list of home improvement experience. Now, this sounds really easy when you're looking at the diagrams for how to install a kitchen faucet while standing in Lowe's. What one fails to consider is the fact that you will have to perform this feat while laying on your back, half in and half out of a cabinet, simultaneously working around and squeezing beneath the drain, supply lines, and garbage disposal. But I "got 'er done." And I get to do it all over again tomorrow...
Somehow I got roped into changing out the faucet in our kitchen at home so I could take it to replace the one in our rental property. Actually, I know exactly how I got roped into it: I'd rather spend twice the money to improve my own home and give the rental my hand-me-downs, which are nicer than what is currently installed, than pay to improve a rental property that I hope to sell as soon as the economy picks back up / my current tenants decide to move out. (Nat, if you're reading this, don't take it the wrong way) This largely came about because I had decided to do the same thing with the dishwasher, so there was already a precedent for this thinking. What I failed to take into account was the fact that I have to do these installs twice, once to replace the item at my residence and again to install it at the rental. So, by this time next week I expect to have installed another kitchen faucet, two dishwashers, and a kitchen light fixture. Although I am buying the light new.
Still no scan of the newest sonogram. I really should buy a scanner, but it seems so superfluous when one has a digital camera. Particularly when we have a family member with a good one that Denine sees at least four times a week. I was intending to start posting semi-regular pics of Denine's "baby bump" (as Dr. Mullin puts it), but I'm just too dad-gum tired. Maybe I'll do a two-for-one if we get the sonogram scanned in the next few days.
