Happy Tuesday to all. Hope you are all well and doing good. It is a wet morning here. We had rain overnight and it is still misting out. The temps when getting up were still in the 60'sF. It will get close to 70 today, then it appears that temps will be slowly dropping the next few days. I guess it is time. Sigh!!
I am so tired this morning. I slept last night, but starting at about 2AM I managed to wake and look at the clock EVERY half hour! I went right back to sleep, but each time I slept I dreamed some of the craziest dreams. I dreamt of people I haven't even thought about in decades and just weird things. My mind was very active, for sure. The covers were a mess this morning, so I must have moved a lot too. I do believe today may be a short nap day! You ever have one of those nights?

It reminds me of the old Felix the cat clocks!!!
I told you in Sunday wrap-up about cleaning the filter in the bathroom faucet. Well, for a long time the kitchen sink seemed to have low pressure. I couldn't understand as nothing has been changed underneath the sink. I decided to try and remove the filter from it - NOPE, that wasn't happening. So, I got a little creative. I took a small juice glass and put vinegar in it. Then I place a rubber band over faucet and wrapped it a time or two - then placed the little glass over the end of the faucet (to cover the filter part on spicket) and wrapped the rubber band around it. Clear as mud now? LOL. I forgot to take a picture.
Anyway, I left it that way for about 3 hours while I worked outside. Came in and removed and turned on the water - after a few sputters I had full flow of water again! My pressure at least doubled. I guess it was really clogged up as well.
Sometimes we may think things are all messed up - and just a little creative thinking can remedy the problem with NO money spent!
Have you got any FREE fixes that worked for you around the house that saved having to hire help or buy something new?? Inquiring minds need to know!!
Well, I guess I need to get busy. I truly need to sew - I keep talking myself out if it! Sometimes I can be such a procrastinator - that is one of the things about me I need to work on!
Wishing you all a great day. Stay safe and stay healthy and be productive!

I also was having issues with my kitchen faucet. What with all the water outage and sediment, the little aerator got clogged. I took it off. Boy, is that a learning curve, using un-aerated water! The water came flying out so fast it bounced out of the sink onto me and the floor! :D
ReplyDeleteMy phone service returned yesterday - out since Sept 27th. The Boil Water advisory was lifted after lunch. So we're kinda back to normal, except for all those poor folks who lost their homes and all possessions and are now living in tents in the mud. There's snow in the forecast, I wonder what they will do? Where can they go? ... and the bridges and roads that got washed away, that's not back to normal yet.
That's a neat sky picture you have there. We've had some beautiful sunrise clouds, just as pink as roses! :)

Good job on the kitchen tap. It was likely a calcium build-up - I've used the same method (though just a bag) on a shower head. It takes a few hours but the difference is drastic.
ReplyDeleteLovely sunset photo!
My cute coffee cup clock stopped working- had for 30 years, no salvaging it. It bothers me because it was on the wall on the kitchen I could see without entering the kitchen. I tried all things to get it working. Good for you for handling a fix yourself.
