Home Improvement!


I had been wanting a new kitchen faucet for awhile, but was waiting until the old one bit the dust and we had the time and money for the project.  Our old faucet was barely working as the water just dribbled out and the water pressure kept getting less and less.  The past few days I had been using the water sprayer to fill up the sink because the water pressure was so low that by the time there was enough water in the sink to wash dishes the suds were all gone.  So I started saving some money, but I did not realize how much a kitchen faucet costs!  I almost settled for a cheap one, but then I thought, "I use this probably more than anything else in the house, I want something functional that will last."  I knew I wanted something that had one handle for hot and cold water, was tall enough for big pans and had a pull out sprayer.  After narrowing down the faucets that fit this discription, I had a choice between two.  I chose the one that wouldn't show the fingerprints and water spots over the one that had the little built in soap dispenser.  So I took it home to my handy man husband and my eager -to- help kiddos and they got to work.  It was an exciting process and before I knew it.....
I had a beautiful new faucet that had AWESOME water pressure!  My wonderful husband also had to remove part of the window sill because it stuck out too far for the higher faucet.  That was the hardest part for him, but it looks great as well!  I am so excited I almost WANT to do dishes.  I think I'll go start dinner...
