The Farce Awakens!
last job of 2016 was the telly's speakers:

no, it's not now perfect. it's clearer, but the levels adjustment is all geared to...feck knows. i've tried earphones and that seems like the sound levels are more evened, but still a bit muffled.
diabolical, really.
between then and yesterday, apart from the colds and the abcess which left me mostly housebound and a fight with a dog which left me kneebitten (yeah, that's my life) and catsitting for a neighbour, i've done nowt.
with yesterday came this year's first job, the kitchen tap:

the levers are facing outwards in the off position. i don't know if that's how they're supposed to be, but it suits mum and me for both our aches.
the tap is WRAS approved and British Standards compliant; a must after last year's farce.
of course, it came with a problem: too short hoses!!!
i checked online for longer ones and they do them, but not at our local stores they don't :wallbash:
after trying a few of them, i ended up at a plumb trade shop and the lass in there sorted me out with the copper pipe and connectors. she was much more helpful than those dweebs at Plumbase, especially as my mind went blank with the effects of illness when trying to figure out what i needed to lengthen the pipes under the sink.
big :thumbsup: for women in plumbing ('women in plumbing' i said, not women's plumbing).
