Repaired Faucets

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 32 degrees, high 68 degrees, clear skies

Today was the warmest day we have seen in about four months. It felt good to be warmer outside for a change, and even encouraged us to do a little yard house keeping.

Last night about 1800 hours, the door bell rang. When I answered the bell, a UPS truck was driving away. Looking around the door, I found that the replacement cartridges for the shower and tub faucets had been delivered. Since the parts were here, we decided doing the repairs on the faucets would be the first thing we did this morning. Oh, by the way - when did the delivery people stop having to attempt to get a signature on deliveries?

After we had eaten breakfast and taken care of a couple other little chores, I turned the water off, turned the water heater off (probably wasn't necessary), and started making the cartridge repairs on the faucets. The parts we received were exactly like the ones that we were replacing, which was what we wanted. Last week, the replacement parts sold to me in Athens were not matches, which is probably why they didn't work.

Within 20 minutes, both faucets were repaired and back in action. Boy, do they work easier! And I didn't forget to turn the water back on.

Since that little repair job went so well, we decided to do a little straightening in the garage. That took all of ten minutes, because we are consciously making an effort to keep things put away, as well as getting rid of stuff that we don't need. The years of traveling in an RV taught us well.

Next was a little straightening of the work shop, which is where I park the truck. That took about three minutes, and most of that time was spent getting stuff together to throw away.

So, did we do anything else? Not really, as I was a little under the weather. Even the little bit we did required me to push myself to get it done. We watched a little television, read a little, debated what to have for supper (leftovers), and tried to feel better. Trying didn't work, but I'm hopeful I'll feel better tomorrow. If so, we'll get out and see what we can scare up.

More later, be safe.
