On Tap Now!

Last time I talked about our hall bath sink, the husband and Little Man had just encountered the problem with the screws holding the old taps in place. They were rusted in place and no manipulation with our collection of wrenches, pliers and vise grips got them to budge. Gnnnnnnhhh ....

So we tried rust solvent ... slathered it on and waited.
Frankly, I'm not sure how much that helped.
In the end, the husband had to chip away at the rusted parts and finally managed to pry it apart enough to remove the old faucets.
Yay!

Installing the new ones was a breeze and they are -lovely-!
They work so much better than the old ones, and of course they are shiny, new and sparkly!

Now I really have to check into having the sink professionally refinished. It got banged around a bit and now looks really worse for wear. I'll keep you posted how that goes.
