My Handyman, He's the Man

Over the years, 42 now, things around the house need replacing. Like faucets, door knobs, windows, screens, and wooden floors. Each of those items bring back memories for our family. I left out the inevitable wall behind a door knob and the unavoidable huge hole. It makes me laugh just thinking about some of the replacement activities. Oh, and the words that accompany these activities, just some of them. We really don't need to think of them. Sorry, I'm digressing. I'm so thankful for a man who knows how to repair and replace these items. The latest is the kitchen faucet. When we left for Boise and Charlotte's birth, there was a drip. We or my man hadn't had time to fix it. By the time I got home, the handle also had a lot of problems. It was time to replace the whole thing. One Saturday, I suggested we just purchase the faucet and he could install it at a later date. We did that. Yea. Dan had a meeting that night, but thought he could get it started and finish it when he got home. He just couldn't let there be a faucet in a box at home that needed to be installed. Well, the Man did it. It looks wonderful and it works wonderful! I even got the cupboard under the sink cleaned out and organized. Plus we have new tools. You know, every project needs new tools! Thank you honey!!

  3. That's the coolest, prettiest faucet I've ever seen. Does it have a detachable head too?

  4. That's a gorgeous faucet! I just thought all men fixed things since Dad did while we were growing up. Thank goodness my man is handy like that, although that wasn't something I was looking for when we got married.
