A necessary fix...

Last week while my middle son was away for work I noticed a drip under the kitchen sink (quick solution was a container to catch the water) and that the water pressure in my kitchen faucet was significantly lower. By Friday it was down to a slow trickle. After discussing the issue with the GF and my son via text message we determined that the faucet was the culprit. The water pressure everywhere else in the house was fine. Middle son returned home over the weekend and after checking out a few things he was in complete agreement about the faucet.
The leak issue was a loosened fitting and about 20 seconds with a wrench fixed that all up. Being off of work today for President's Day son and I headed up to Home Depot to price and choose a new faucet. I knew I wanted a name brand that was reliable, a gooseneck style since the sink is shallow and I want to be able to get big pots under the faucet, and I wanted to stay within a budget amount of $150. It was amazing to me the variety of styles, finishes, and prices. All the way from a sticker shocking price of $400 down to the budget, no name, basic faucet priced at $79. Our search was narrowed down by style and after debating finish for a few minutes we then moved on to price. We ended up with a Glacier Bay (same company as the last toilet we purchased and have been very happy with) gooseneck faucet in a brushed nickle finish. Single handle, with a hidden sprayer in the neck of the faucet. Totally cool. And just within my budget with a sale price of $148.
Twenty minutes of work (emptying the cabinet under the sink, removing the old faucet and fittings, installing the new stuff) and we were in business with full force on the water pressure!!

And it looks darn good too.
