The old one broke. The head came off the sprayer when pulled out.
Hubs fixed it. It lasted a few minutes.
Hubs ran out to buy a new faucet. He knew what I liked.
Our son stopped work to come over to help hubs install it by using his hands to to screw it in beneath the sink. Hubs has to be careful with his back.
Out with the old and in with the new in under twenty minutes. So thankful!
It’s nice to have men around when you need them and a pretty new faucet! One hour before I use it to make dinner.

Ooh, that’s nice. I’m not that lucky to have a hubby or a Home Depot close enough.

At least he's real handy and you were able to get one quickly. It's pretty, too.

@DianneN I know what you mean. Our pipes were clogged and we had to get a plumber out to fix it. Since we couldn't aford the off-hours fee, we had to deal with a disfuctional sink for three days (holiday weekend). So I am truely greatful.

A handy man is always appreciated. When i was a kid living with my siblings who are all older than me, i was the handy person. My brothers know nothing about fixing anything in the house. Cable lines, changing bulbs, etc. I did it.

@DianneN That’s why my father thought that i was gay. I was playing with boys, doing boys work, and enjoyed boy’s toys as well.
But it all changed when i got married. Gone was the handy girl.

@toniganzon I played with my brothers and the neighborhood boys. It’s good for a child to have lots of experiences.

They are a pain when they break. We just replaced ours a couple of weeks ago.

@DianneN But we had to cut the old one off. Who ever put it on had tightened the bolts as far as they could get them.

@DianneN the only weak point we've found is it doesn't magically make dishes cleaner!

@DianneN We enjoyed a quick meal from Home Chef tonight. There are so many good offers out there on the home delivery meals that I started checking into them and put an order in for three meals. It will save me money on the grocery bill, and I think help us stay on a better diet with proportioned servings and no seconds! I got $10 back from Rakutan too! Sweet deal! I think I ended up spending right around $20 for 3 dinner meals. That would have been double at the grocery store for complete meals or even more.

Nice ! Yah, these things I have no clue how to fix/replace, but then again I've never had to do it myself . I have a friend whose husband does none of these things, so she gets YouTube out and it is impressive how she does so many things around the house herself!

Tre modern, nice. Indeed, very good to have handy men in family. Plumbers are very expensive.

My cut daffodils lasted me 4 days only. But it's ok, for it was so beautiful.
