I did it!

I did a home improvement project, well slight repair, this weekend and I did 95% of it by myself AND..AND I didn't curse once.

I had a faucet in my bathroom that had a slow drip. We had to have some other plumbing work done a few weeks ago and I asked the guy about replacing a washer. He told me some mumbo jumbo and that the best bet is to just replace the whole thing (to the tune of 289.00 IF we supplied the faucet).

So I talked to my dad and asked if he could help..be there for support. I will say that I am NOT the most handy of guys. Outside in the yard I am pretty good, but carpentry, wiring, plumbing (even "easy" stuff) freaks me out. Both my brothers are good at stuff but both have kids and homes of their own.

All told the replacement took about 30 minutes..and the key thing is we are not leaking. How long will it take me to stop worrying if it will leak? Mrs March put stuff back under the sink last night so she has faith in my work.

Not ready to take out and replace a toilet but my chest is pumped up with pride.

On a totally unrelated note:
Sunday afternoon the Marches and I went for a bike ride at a "rails to trails" place about 10 minutes from us. On the ride back home
one of these went past us on the opposite side. My question...if you could afford such a car (The 2004 Lamborghini Murcielago starts at $279,900) also I am not sure they make these) but anyway..if you could afford one..would yours be LIME GREEN? I kid you not..one of the coolest looking cars, priced TWO TIMES as much as what we paid for our home passes us on the highway and its LIME GREEN?
