I'm excited to be getting some work done in the house this week. Last night we got the hot water working in the shower. Turns out there was a limited in the handle keeping us from turning the knob far enough to engage the hot water. Once we got that in the right position the hot water came right on. Once that was fixed we put the new shower head on. This shower being ready makes the wife very happy.
Also yesterday I got the bathtub in another bathroom caulked. There was still a leak from the knob that needed to be looked at. I took it apart tonight, and I'm pretty sure that the cartridge needs to be replaced. At the same time the tub fixtures are in pretty bad shape so we want to replace them. It should not be very expensive, and it's another thing we can do ourselves pretty easily.
Although I have the basic handy man knowledge, since I have not had a home, I have not cared much about working on home repair etc. Now that I have a home to take care of, I actually really enjoy working in the house. I'm looking forward to getting things all cleaned up.
