Down the Drain

Sometimes the little things are the ones that make the greatest difference. Several years ago before I started this blog and began to document our home renovations, I bought a new faucet for the bathroom. It came with a new plug for the sink. Because the old one looked like this, I was ready for it to be replaced.

Douglas was kind enough to change the faucet for me, but he left the old plug. The worst part was that he disconnected it so that it could not be easily stopped. No matter what I did, water always drained slowly out. For two years I kept asking him to fix it, but he never found the time. In all fairness, I could have done it myself, but that never happened either.

Then, a couple of weeks ago, I came home from somewhere, and it was done. You might think that I would not notice such a little thing, but I saw it immediately.

Crème made sure that everything was done satisfactorily in my absence.

Now you can stop the sink to keep the water from draining. Here is Crème to demonstrate.

Thank you, Douglas.

Happy Homemaking!

I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house.

  1. Yeah, I’m so lucky Creme was there to help and make sure the project took twice as long to complete. Damn inspectors..
