I have a new found appreciation for Plumbers and the rates they charge.
Sunday, November 29, 2009
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend! Long weekends are so wonderful, it's like getting a little mini vacation.
Today, I helped my brother ( I read the instructions) install a new Pilar Touch 2O kitchen faucet by Delta. I'll blog more about this week with tips and comments. Bottom line: We love it! It's terrific. Look ma, no more chicken hands on the faucet.
We got it in and it works great, but I certainly see why plumbers get paid the big bucks. It's not just the process of installing a new item, it's dealing with cruddy old parts, rusted angle stops and other detritus that they are prepared to deal with that a novice is not. So anyhow, it's a beautiful thing to complete a project from start to finish even though it took us all day while a plumber would have done it within a couple of hours.

I'm curious to read your review of the Pilar. I have been specifying them exclusively for about the last six months. Homeowners love them, plumbers hate me. I want one next!
Sure thing. I will report back. It really is a very nice faucet.
Hmm, your comments about plumbers are so true, very true. It's funny how difficult it is to think in a such way BEFORE you DIY, but then as soon as you get your own hands on a project you start to appreciate them.
Yes, couldn't imagine life without plumbers - worth every penny.
It did feel like a mini-holiday at Thanksgiving, didn't it? I hope yours was lovely. :)
Hi Paul, see my review on the Pilar Faucet in my Dec 7 post.
Green your Kitchen and Kelly, yes, agreed, a good plumber is worth every penny.
