seconds to realize what the problem is. A *bunch* of water can spew out
in that time!

Recommendation: Once that sprayer head has come off the end of the hose,
don't try to put it back on (in our experience, it won't stay). And don't
just buy a replacement sprayer head - same problem. Buy the combo
already
put together and replace both. It's a b*tch to get to the connection
under the sink, but worth the effort. If you don't have a basin wrench,
now would be a good time for one. Regular wrench: 2 hours to install
and
a blue-clouded kitchen from my language. Basin wrench: .5 hour and a
much calmer kitchen.

never use them. MLB

this is like a foreign language to me, I am so mechanically inept last night
I broke the wine opener... mind you DH gave me a detailed lesson in how to
use it, and in a separate episode Gramby gave me a detailed lesson... but I
still managed to break it the first time I used it on my own... Lee, who
would just scream for DH if the sprayer screwed up

Have you seen the new automatically adjusting adjustable wrench being
advertised for Christmas? DH calls then "woman proof wrenches"! ;

Also we were watching a Lowes commercial where a guy is asking a woman
customer rep what he should get his wife for Christmas. They finally agree
on a gift certificate and I asked DH, "Now what woman would want a Lowes
gift certificate for Christmas?" He said, "Our daughter!" Um, yeah, he's
right, she's the only female I know who gets turned on by power tools! ;

You don't *really* think I'm gonna touch that one, 'specially not here

Haven't seen that one, but I have seen the one where the guy grabs a
female store employee with a series of "how about this? would she like
this?" questions then settles on a gift cert and starts to kiss the
employee then remembers who she is and backs off embarrassed.

I got a sawzall last year for Christmas and asked the kids for a drill press
this year. Build things outside to put flowers on and these things are
wonderful. Now, years ago my husband bought me a riding lawn mower for
Mothers day and that was a bit much. Can't see well enough to ride on it by
myself and therefore couldn't hook a wagon up behind to help me with
gardening so was a bit put out by it!!

Add my wife to that list of power tool aficionados. While in Whitehorse
she
built a deck at one house, gutted, insulated & put new beams in another,
and brought her own cutting tools into our marriage. Gotta love a woman
with a Sawzall of her own. together we've been drooling over the compound
miter saws with laser guides at Lowe's.

I still work part time at Home Depot. In the garden department. I sell the
outdoor equipment, lawnmowers, chain saws, etc. There is a new tool called
the gator and they were going to set it up for us to use to recut the bottom
ofChristmas trees. I was so excited to have a chance to use it, but they
never got it set up for us. We used an electric chain saw.
