A Job Complete…

I wanted to spend the day finally getting the bathroom faucet changed out so we ate a lunch of leftovers.

It took all afternoon and two trips to Lowe’s, but I finally got the old one off.

And, ironically, the Lowe’s trips didn’t help.

It just took a lot of brute force, i.e., a screwdriver and a big, honking hammer.

It turns out all I had to do was just beat the crap out of it.

Finally getting the old one out, I got the new one in and working in only about 10 minutes.

Here’s  the result.

The old one was a two handle model that couldn’t be repaired when it started dripping. This one can be fixed.

About 6 pm we headed out for dinner at Ryan’s, dropping off a bag of garbage at the dumpster on the way out of the park.

We got back home a little after 7, ready to enjoy our new faucet.

More tomorrow…
