Tuesday

Another day spent monkeying around with the kitchen faucet.  Yesterday, after running back and forth between Camping World and Ace Hardware, we thought we had the answer to our dribbling dilema.  Dave turned off the water, took off our original lethargic faucet and replaced it with the brandy new one.  He turned the water back on and voila!  no more dribbles, a good, strong stream of water.  A stream strong enough to make the dish detergent bubble in the sink.  He was very very happy.

We went outside to enjoy a much deserved G&T and watch the sunset.  Alex and Ellen stopped over and we chatted until after dark.  As we started to clean up the mess around the sink and get dinner ready, I discovered that the sink cover would now not fit over the sink.   The new faucet was too big!

If you've ever tried to cook in a tiny RV kitchen, you'll know how important it is to be able to cover up one sink.....it provides you with your only counter space.   This new faucet couldn't stay.   What to do?

Go to bed, think about it in the morning.






Back and forth between Camping World and Ace Hardware, back and forth.....This time we bought every faucet we thought might work and took them home for a trial.



AT LAST!!!!  One of them worked perfectly.  Energetic stream of water, swivel head with a sprayer and low enough profile to allow the sink cover to do its important job.  We were both practically giddy.


That was our day, how was yours?
