Over the past month, I’ve been trying to fit a new tap into the kitchen sink of my rental home. I have zero plumbing experience but was assured by multiple followers and YouTube videos that it was a pretty straightforward job. I asked around and friends had told me they’d paid between £150-£300 to get the job done by a professional in London, which is absolutely fair enough, because tradesmen and women can charge whatever they can get. But I was not paying that for a rental home, especially as I know that my brother, dad and grandad would have all done it themselves.
What a brilliant writer you are! I applaud your determination in everything you set your mind to do. I appreciate your honesty about the ups and the downs. We all experience these so your account is refreshing and identifiable. You’ve done a really fab job on your rental. X
I really wondered what this article would turn into by having read the title. I have of course also followed all the details of the tap gate on Instagram. Truly great read once again. Thank you!
Very well timed with my own thoughts wanting to own more manual labor around the house instead of default relying on my husband. I used to be pretty independent and now have gotten to a stage where I deserve mockery of my lacking skills - or moreso the will to try. Also truly inspiring to want to set this kind of example to my two sons and what it means to go through trial and error.
I wonder what a collaboration of any sorts with Elizabeth Day would look like 🥰
Thank you! I found this such an inspiring & helpful read, and I’m also grateful to you for being so honest about the things that didn’t go quite to plan. x
