Cheap quality High price!

3 yrs ago when we bought this house we replaced the kitchen faucet which was original to when it was built in 1979. We put in a rather pricy one handled model with the sprayer on the spigot and I really liked it. It didn't take long before the sprayer button got messed up, and Greg never could figure out how to fix it... so I lived with it.

A couple days ago the faucet wouldn't turn off. It didn't just drip, it ran in a steady stream. So yesterday I was trying to get it to turn off and the handle broke off in my hand! The controls and connections inside are plastic! How can you make it with plastic working parts and expect it not to wear out over time!?!

So today Greg is picking up a new faucet and is going to have to install it before he leaves tomorrow as I'm without water in the kitchen sink now. It will likely be another rather pricy one as the new sink we put in has only the one hole for everything to come up through which means the new faucet has to fit it.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I'm seeing a lot of money going out for repairs around here lately!
