My first blog: faucets

Welcome to Chez Elka, my very first blog.

Been pushed here by the paucity of expression possible on Twitter.

Was hoping for a relaxing summer but instead am still catching up with stuff... paper stuff and other stuff.

Spent yesterday morning and afternoon with a plumber.  Had our old defunct instant hot replaced with a filtered -cold- and -instant -hot -system.  Then had our defunct main faucet replaced.

All very snazzy, but now the shiny chrome soap dispenser clashed with the elegant brushed nickle finishes on the the other faucets.  I swear that whenever I went into the kitchen the shiny tiny chrome dispenser fairly shouted.

So something had to be done.

The main problem was that a soap dispenser that matched the main faucet was a mere $140 so that's why the gaudy shiney chrome one sat there.

Off we went to Home Depot where we had the choice of one dispenser in the appropriat finish for under $35.  Sold!  Brought it home and installed it my self... really no big deal.

I cannot procrastinate much longer.  Am going to soak in the tub but tomorrow, I promise to catch up with the paper work.
