OK, yesterday Gary decides to hook up the new sink faucet and pipes under the sink so that we will have kitchen water. He got it all done and we had a leak in one of the drain pipes. The old Gary would have just taken everything apart and tried again to fix it. But the Gary with all these darned health problems was so frustrated, I said let's just call a plumber. I thought he might be offended, but he wasn't so we did. When the plumber got here today, he said the $165 faucet we had purchased at Lowes, was a "piece of crap". He said this particular brand (Moens) is usually very good but this faucet was not good. So I took it back and he actually went with me and we opened the boxes of every faucet I liked and he picked the best one. I thought that was really nice. They are putting it in now, as we speak.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the tile guy shows up tomorrow to do the backsplash. I can hardly wait to get all this work DONE!
