Leaky Faucet

Have a leaky faucet? Why repair your two-knob model when you can replace and upgrade to a single-lever model that's easier to turn on when your hands are slimy from raw chicken?

For a hundred-something dollars and a few hours of your husband's evening, you, too can have a beautiful new faucet with included soap dispenser. (Water lines, wrenches, and a hack saw to literally cut the old faucet off are not included.)

 But, what can be done with the old faucet? After all, those two knobs are still in good shape. Why not put them on your bathroom faucet? They look so much nicer than those crystal-looking jobbies.

Two upgrades for the price of one!

 Never mind the fact that both knobs turn counter-clockwise. So, to turn on the cold, you turn the handle to the back. Dad suggested a way to change that, so, with a few hours of my (or my husband's) evening. . .
