If you are out of state (like my Mantua, Denver, and Cedar Rapids readers), you can visit their site here. Well, I guess you could reach them at that site if you live in Arizona, as well.
My close friend Bruce runs the place and he helped me with a sink problem I was having.
I submit Exhibit A:
This was my old faucet. I think it was left out at sea. It has barnacles.
Now, there are a lot of things to tighten under a sink. Here’s what it looks like. We thought we had it all assembled just fine. Something that is more than a leak but less than a geyser came out. Very mildewy towels.
One week later, 12:07 am, it works. Many washers died bringing us these plans.
The fruits of labor are indeed sweet. Sweet like a bronze faucet with ceramic rotators that turn like butter. (I guess that would be ‘churn’, but these things are smooth. Like butter.) We actually have the option of hot AND cold water now. We’re movin’ on up…
Now onto the shower. It has a giant crack in it. In 1985 I guess people didn’t need to put support underneath fiberglass showers. Six months into living in the house, we realized that a bad patch job had been done over the crack. Our flooded living room told us. Flash forward a couple of years to our solution.
In the following picture, you will see a drill, attic insulation foam underneath a shower, and a madman.
Once again, thank you Bruce! Shop at Ultra Bath!
Bruce: I put the washer plug in the pipe, put the round side of the ball in (moving on the bigger part of the washer), put the tightener on top of the ball, and fastened it all. Stopped to no stopped sink, the water flows in the pipes and not on my face.
