I am SuperWoman!!!

Ok so I'm totally not. But I accomplished something today that I am very proud of. It involved plumbing.

Well, not quite plumbing. Ok, not plumbing at all but there was a faucet and water involved.
Recently, we bought a second hand portable dishwasher I found on a facebook *yard sale* group. It matches our current appliances and for $180 NOT having to rip apart the kitchen cabinets was a big selling feature.

So this great buy of mine became somewhat of a headache when we first brought it home. When we bought this house this summer we changed the kitchen taps to a set I found at a discount price, brand new, online. I paid $35 plus shipping to a canadian retailer (bonus) for a set that was retailing at a big box store for $179. Only problem was that the adapter piece for the dishwasher was too big for the end of the faucet. After searching every possible store I conceded that my stylish taps had to go. This meant buying new unimpressive taps. But hey, the dishwasher works well, so that makes it more than worth it in my mind.

Ok, so, back to what I did. This adapter piece leaked like a mother____ you know whater. And if it was left on the faucet, when you ran the water  it sprayed out these little slits in the sides ALL OVER the kitchen. So every time I ran the dishwasher I had to switch end pieces. Sounds simple. Surprisingly not. Anyways, to get to the point, somehow, I fixed it. See, last night I tried to take off the adapter and it came off in 2 pieces (not so good) so this morning I had to put a bunch of inner workings back into the bottom half and I guess I did it right (which meant it had been wrong) because now it can stay on the end of the faucet for good. No more pain in the ass switching ends just to use my damn sink!! Yay Me!!
