Today I was a plumber. The last few days the faucet in the shower wants to drip after shutting it off. I decided it was time to fix it. Being there wasn’t any shut off valves I had to turn off the water to the whole house. I removed the faucet cylinder and went to Lowes to get a new one and within an hour everything would be back to normal (so I thought). Well there wasn’t any replacement parts which met I was going to have to replace the whole faucet. I found a replacement faucet and headed for home. Cheri removed everything from the cabinet behind the shower as I had to open up the wall to get to the back side of the faucet. When I went to remove the old one they had cut too big of an opening into the shower and had added some wood to make the faucet fit. That met that I was going to have to come up with something to make the new faucet fit right. I cut a piece of ¼ inch plywood 8 inches by 8 inches and was able to install that between the faucet and the back of the shower which made everything fit correctly. Long story short an hour’s project turned into a five hour project and had no water in the house for those five hours. Cheri worked all day on Christmas cards and cleaning up the mess I made replacing the shower faucet. Needless to say I was done for the day. We spent the evening watching the season’s final Survivor show. I was surprised on who won the million dollars.
