Plumbing job done.
The "kitchen" we have is essentially a kitchen sink with a mid range cheapo faucet. About two years ago it started dripping or just not turning off unless you put the handle in just the right spot. We all learned to shift the handle around until it was off. Yesterday I rinsed out my coffee cup and there was no place to position the handle that it did not continue to run at a decent stream. If you pushed real had in one direction it would stop but as soon as you let go it started flowing.
We did some great engineering. A board with 35 pounds of weights to hold the handle down, no leak. Of course to make coffee this morning I had to go to the bathroom sink to rinse the pot. We bought a new super cheapo faucet for $35. and looked under the sink to see what was in store. No shut off valves. So shut off the water at the meter, remove old faucet and install new faucet.
Ta Da! now we can stop the water flow by just turning off the faucet normally and you don't have to know the secret handshake.
Of course the installation was a total pain in the butt.
