This is about the fourth one in 8 years.

Fourth what?

Fourth kitchen faucet.

When we moved in, there was this nice Kohler faucet in the sink. Fashionable, worked well... but I guess we were hard on it because it didn't last too long after our move into the house. We replaced it with another of the same kind (Home Depot was very helpful and allowed it), and within a couple of years, it broke down, too. Same way, same places... everything. This time, we had to get replacement parts from Kohler because we didn't have a receipt showing our purchase of it. (Of course not! We didn't buy it; the former owner did! And there was no "sales" receipt from Home Depot, either.)

Recently, we noticed that it was leaking around the base (again), and Hubby finally took it apart today. One wall in the innards was broken, but didn't come totally loose until it was taken apart. So, this meant we needed a new faucet... again.

Kohler has this nice, lifetime warranty thing going... but you have to have the receipt, and you have to order from them. Not a good thing when you need your kitchen sink! So, instead of trying to replace it with the same type again, we went shopping.

Nearly the first thing we noticed was that a lot of the new faucets had this pull out spray thing instead of a side spray. And one of those cool, new-style faucets was marked down - way down. Almost half off. Not sure if they were trying to get rid of them to make room for a new style or what, but we thought that was a good deal. So we bought it. It's not a Kohler, but I'm putting the receipt away anyway... just in case.

Hubby is working on putting it in now. He's fortified with Dr. Pepper and has plenty of I Love A Mystery to listen to while he's working. Which is good because of all the home repair chores there are, he hates plumbing the most.

More later if the muse moves.
