Remodel: Day Twenty-Two

Still more tile work today.

Yet another plumber arrived today to install the new kitchen faucet set. Since I requested a replacement, I thought the set would more closely resemble the existing set. Instead, we got something that was really ugly and out of place. Argh. I told myself that it's temporary--as in two or three years temporary. As long as it works, right? It's come to that. About five minutes into the job, the plumber informs me that the valves are too rusty and are leaking. If I want the faucet installed, the valves will have to be replaced. Of course he should make the necessary repairs. For an extra $300. And, still, my overwhelming emotion is relief. On a roll!
