Handy Men

The hot water in our upstairs sink has never really worked quite right. Every time you turned it on it made the most loud and annoying pipe shaking noise that I am sure woke up our neighbors. This winter we got tired of using ice cold water to wash our hands, so Mark decided he was going to take the challenge and fix it. Well fixing it turned in to changing out the faucet, and a hour project turned in to a day long project with the help of two neighbors. Isn't that how all home repairs happen? However, I love it, and my boys did a great job!

They worked together to figure out the problem, and then Jackson started looking to see which tools would do the job.


Once dad finally left for the first of three trips to Lowe's, Jackson got to work!


I don't have a before picture but here is an after.


Hmmm . . . . What should we fix next?

Gee, I am impressed. I didn't know Mark could do that! Maybe Jackson's help made the difference! The new faucet looks great! I hope the hot water works now. Love you all, Emmy

Mr. Fixit and son, plumbers for hire!!Looks great to me. Love the new faucets. PaPa said they could come fix his. Were there any "new" words learned? If not, I am really impressed. Love you, Dee
