Well After getting tired of a silly leak for some 4 years now, I decided it was time to do something about it. So i went to my toolbox and grabbed some of my tools, and got to work on my bathroom faucet. That's right, not a car. It felt weird, since I didn't have any plumber specific tools. But I got under the sink like I would a hood, and got to work. It wasn't that bad, really. Filthy and wet, but otherwise it was nothing hard to handle considering I have absolutely no experience as a plumber. I mean I know being Mexican it's automatically assumed I can do any sort of handyman work for a few cases o' beer but still... I got it done. Here's how it turned out:
Turns out when I finished, it was perfect. No leaks, no re-do's. It was great. Of course, like when I put together an engine or something there are extra parts at the end but they weren't important.
hopefully
Now I'm impressed with my own work and want any excuse to go use the new faucet. Go and touch something dirty, test surfaces to see if they're dusty, drink continuously, do the dishes in a new spot, etc. Flexibility is key to working with your hands!
