Has nothing to do with money, it's all to do with inconvenience. In
order to change the faucet I would need to find a midget plumber,
because whoever designed my kitchen made it virtually impossible for
any normal person weighing more than 120 pounds to contort themselves
in order to work in my under sink cabinet... there's a big center
mullion making either of the two door openings much too narrow... were
my arms about a foot longer I could do the job myself. It's difficult
enough to find plumbers around here, let alone any that weigh under
200 pounds. I had the same dilemma with one of my bathroom faucets
but at that time the service guy from the company that maintains my
boiler was a very small and thin wiry guy, Dennis, but he long ago
moved on.
