Fixing a leaky faucet

Fixing a leaky faucet

It seems like home maintenance and repair never end. There is always something new you want to do and household items breaking at the same time.

My sister brought it to my attention that the bath tub faucet was leaking, and had gotten worse in the past few days. On the plus side she began collecting the water and using it water the garden, so we weren’t wasting any water or money.

Anybody that knows me fairly well is aware that I am not always the most “handy” person, and when it comes to household repairs I need a lot of help, and thankfully these days the internet is that handyman assistant.

And since I’m probably not alone in needing some help, but not necessarily needing the professional help of a plumber, I thought I would post a few links I found especially helpful for determining the source of my leak and repairing it later. I think when I repair this leaky faucet later I’m also going to get a new faucet setup.

Useful leaky faucet links:

I hope this helps some people out and doesn’t offend the plumbers out there.
