It's all pipes, Lenny

i'm going to have to use a wrench, though

do you even know what you're doing? because I wouldn't...

the youtube video made it seem very simple...the spray hose attaches below the sink to the pressures, then the other side to the spray head at the top

can you please record it for us when you attempt this? I watched a youtube video a few months ago on how to unclog my dishwasher...a phone call and $200 later it was fixed..

i thought my dishwasher shit the bed today, but i'd forgotten it's on a light switch for some reason. the maid must've switched it off.

Just committed to replacing all of our siding, gutters, soffit, and fascia. It is all 59 years old. Woof.

We are in the same boat, minus the soffits. What material are you using to replace the siding?

We got a really good deal on a 7 inch insulated vinyl. It looks a lot like James Hardie but cheaper. Most of our neighborhood is either standard vinyl or brick, so we wouldn't be gaining much in terms of resale value from getting the more expensive James Hardie other than the look of it. Aluminum fascia, soffit, and gutters.

Yeah we are looking at the Hardie. Our current siding is a thick wood, horizontal panels, cracking and starting to split at on about half the house bc of sun/weather. I would love to use wood again, but 1) it's so environmentally terrible, and 2) the upkeep – especially on those two sides – is pretty tough. And the Hardie will withstand a lot and has a long warranty. The bids for the Hardie have been astronomical though.

It is a good product for sure, but expensive. Do others in your neighborhood have it?

There's a wide variety of houses in our neighborhood. If I had to guess, wood is predominant

Aye, something to always consider. Hardie Board is probably your best bet.

Yeah, our neighborhood is a mish-mash of craftsmen, wooden bungalows, and super modern kleenex boxes, as well as a few teardowns
