So with the 40K in free upgrades from our builder, we got a very nice kitchen, including a faucet that comes out like a sprayer. It makes it so easy to rinse the whole sink and wash large, weird things like my 2ft X 3ft bread board or my huge stock pot. Until today.
The other day I noticed that a little water was squirting out of the part that connects to the hose. I gave it a couple of twists and the water stopped so I assumed it was fine. This morning I stepped on my floor mat in front of the sink and it was wet, so I assumed the kids spilled something. Later I stepped on it, it still wasn't dry, in fact it was MORE wet. I lifted it up and it was SOAKED (it is that thick foam mat from Walmart) underneath, and there was a puddle dripping out of my cabinet under the sink. Crap!!!
I opened the cabinet and tore everything out of there and the box of trash bags disintegrated in my hands. Thank goodness for home warranties! I called the builder and they came over ASAP. Technically it was homeowner maintenance that I am supposed tighten that faucet on a regular basis.... Umm, great, you think you could have mentioned that in the numerous walk-through's for the house??? I know what every little random pipe sticking out of our house does but I didn't know to tighten the sink.
Fortunately, they seem to like me and they sent over the drywall guy to remove my toe kick and thank goodness!! It was soaking wet and the drywall behind the pipes is wet. So right now there is lots of banging, and vacuuming and they are going to leave a turbo fan to dry out the drywall....
All this because my upgrades are smarter than me. My mother will be so disappointed after all the years of teaching me maintenance. *hangs head in shame*
