My husband, My plumbing hero.....

We have this list of minor fixes, well some not so minor, that we would like to make to our house in the next 2 and half years before we sell it(hopefully it will sell). Things like replace all the brass lighting fixtures with brushed nickel, replace all the brass door knobs, and do the finishing work on the bathroom and bedroom in the basement.

Earlier this month Hero did what I believe may have been the most important repair to me. The old kitchen faucet was worn out and the sprayer didn't work. After thirty minutes spent scratching our heads in the plumbing department, we finally decided on a rather GORGEOUS faucet, well gorgeous in my eyes.



Since my new faucet is a sprayer in itself we knew we would be left with a hole to fill in the sink. Hero thought about getting a faucet with a soap dispenser. In my toes I KNEW I would NEVER use it, so I finally spoke up and showed him what I really wanted to fill the hole with.



That my friends is a remote control for the garbage disposal. I know some of you are shaking your heads and wondering what this world is coming to. You see, I am of the Ricketts stock. We are beautiful people, but we ALL suffer from short-arm-itis.



Short-arm-itis coupled with the fact that the switch for my disposal was literally in another world in relation to the sink made this remote a necessity. Even if I am leaning up again the dishwasher I had to strain to reach the switch, and forget even trying if the dishwasher was open! Now all I have to do is push the button on my sink and "wala" rufage be gone!
