Back and Faucet

So the faucet in our master bathroom has been leaking for quite a while. So annoying!! We tried to replace the washers, but we couldn't get to them without stripping everything, so we turned off the hot water, where the leak was, and waited until we could get a new one. Well, we decided January would be when we got one, and of course, for the past month the cold water has now been leaking a steady stream. Ahhh! We finally got the new faucet, and set to work yesterday to fix it. What a crazy adventure!! We have never replaced a faucet by ourselves, and this one was unique, because the cabinet is REALLY tiny. My sweet husband had to lay in some really awful positions, and because I am smaller, and could fit my hands in, I ended up doing a lot of the tightening. Amazingly enough, there are no leaks! Yay for teamwork! On the downside, Jason had hurt his back earlier in the week, and the weird positions wrenched his back even more. He was so sore, he couldn't move this morning. After a day of relaxing and plenty of IB Profin, he is feeling a little better. Jason has banned me from ever willingly deciding to change the faucet in that bathroom again!

The finished product, and the REALLY tiny cabinet

We totally understand the very little cabinet thing. At least it has drawers in it! Glad that the whole faucet replacing worked out!
