Since we moved into the Good House almost two years ago, I've had the plumber come out no fewer than a dozen times. Not counting trips to the rental houses. When he answers the phone, I say, "Steve, it's me again." To which he replies, "What is it now, Carol?" The latest problem is a broken kitchen faucet. I went through the major decision process, considering every possible scenario: Go ahead and get a new sink
and a new faucet, while I'm at it; Hurry up and replace the countertops and do it all in one fell swoop, since I've been contemplating that for some time now; Just get the current faucet fixed and wait on the other stuff; Get a new faucet which would, hopefully, fit a new sink down the road; Just use the hot water faucet handle until I make up my mind.
After talking to my plumber and comparing all the options, I decided to go with the next to last option - just get a new faucet. He's coming at 9:00 tomorrow morning. I high-tailed it to Lowe's, and after more serious deliberation, settled on this lovely fixture:
Luckily, Joe the Plumber forbade me to get any other brand than Delta or Moen. That made my decision much easier. Do you know how many choices there are? It's a Moen Anabelle. It set me back $178. When I got home, I decided to check my beloved Amazon, expecting to find it for half that price. Lo and behold, they have it for $332! Wow. Up until now, they always meet or beat the competition.
I'm excited about my latest improvement. I'm sure I'll have more to tell tomorrow. Stay tuned...
