poor matt

the hits just keep on coming. now our kitchen faucet has started leaking. at least he had madelyn to 'help' him with the difficult task of removing the faucet that was unrepairable. matt has spent his memorial day going to every hardware store in town trying to find a faucet that is acceptable that does not have to be special ordered.
he finally found one (at the fifth store) and headed home to install. the directions were horrible! after two tries and four hours he still had no water coming out of the faucet. we decided that it must have been a faulty faucet and matt started working on packing everything up to return it. that's when he realized that the handle turned in two directions - vertically and horizontally! geez! the directions definitely did not make that clear or even imply it in any way. the good news was that we had a plan and matt was finally able make it work. finally. poor matt. he did decide that after spending a day under the sink he could never be a plumber.

hopefully, this will be the last of our water related problems for a while... love.

Aww. what a bummer. At least your perserverance paid off! I know I could never be a plumber. Thank goodness for handy husbands!

Matt has taken on much harder tasks than that one. It's great that he has Maddie to help him now. Great pic!
