After (new kitchen faucet)
The kitchen remodelling, started just seven years ago, has taken a great leap forward. For years I've been living with an ever so slightly leaking faucet. A new cartridge probaby would have fixed it, but the faucet was ugly and not even remotely period appropriate for the circa 1928 bungalow - so instead of fixing it the plan was to replace it. But of course I had other things to do so this got put off. Then about a month ago things got much worse. The old Moen would sometimes not shut off! I could always manage to get it to stop after a bit of fiddling, but it seemed that it would only be a matter of time before I'd have to resort to using the water supply valves. That would have been too much rigmarole for even me to bear.

The amazing thing to me is the tremendous amount of satisfaction I get from looking at the thing - or even using it - and then realizing that I am just now up to the normal baseline of most people's kitchen faucet experience. But for me, it is an occasion for immense gratitude.
