Sink Update #4

The @$&*@#! faucet has been removed. I attribute the feat to the Mike's Hard Lemondae I consumed in the 20 minutes prior to the event and the threats of extreme bodily harm extended toward the faucet. (Don't tell the faucet the trashcan is not a vacation destination, because I felt the need to tell it thank you for cooperating and offered it a "reward" for being so polite at last.)

Next: I'd like to put some silicone caulk underneath the baseplate of the faucet. I have the caulk. I have two tubes of it, in fact. One I purchased some time ago and never used. One I purchased new today. I own two caulking guns. *TWO* of them. Can't find either one of them. I am only barely able to restrain myself from poking myself in the eye with the end of the tube of caulk.

I am beginning to understand why it is that plumbers swear. It makes me wonder how horrible a job it must be to be a sailor since their swearing is reportedly even worse than that of plumbers. But maybe that's just the US Navy. I know if I was in the Navy and had to wear a fry boat like Navy women do, I'd swear too. :o)

Back to the sink issue: I'm giving myself about 5 minutes to decide if I want to caulk the faucet base or not. I'll use three of those minutes to look for the stinkin' caulking gun and another two minutes to drink more Hard Lemonade.
