Actually Goteeboy, the question should be "how many chicken wings does it take to change a faucet?"! HH

Spam Spam Spam Spam... lol G! As usual, incredible work done here! Has Marcus talked to Susur yet to get in again before he closes shop and heads to New York? Ya gotta get him to get you the the Mrs in there before he shuts down for good! Congrats to Marcus and the rest of the crew at MDB! HH

Got a flyer in the mail yesterday and Gagnons in Oshawa has Power Pro, I bleieve 6-50lb test on sale for $10.99 a roll... I believe that is close to half price... just so folks in that area know. HH

Thanks again to all who contributed to this thread and to all who PM'd me... new taps are installed, thanks again Will and the Warden is happy which means soon, I'll be happy! Thanks all! HH

You picked on heck of a topic for your first poll! You might consider searching out previous threads on this topic... a little hint... look for one's that are locked! LOL] HH

! Brian, I look forward to the day! Gerritt... well I've been fortunate enough to have met Roy twice and TJ and Monique once, a couple of years ago at the fishing show. I'd hug Roy but I think I'd miss! (I'm 6 ft 3inches) Same goes for TJ! But Monique, well, I just may find a way! LOL Joey... the pleasure has always been mine! Snap... big or small, a little garlic and your all good! HH

I joined this board I think about 3 or 4 years ago. I have had the pleasure of helping some folks here with their job interview questions, their resume, job searches and what not... but I still feel to this day that I get way more back from the good folks here, then I can possibly ever pay back. I just wanted to say thanks to all who made the effort to help me out on my plumbing problem, but also to everyone whether we've connect in person, through PM's or what ever, for making this such a great place to spend time. I hope I can give back more than I get, but I somehow doubt it! Guaranteed, I'll try! Thanks! HH Ps... I know I'm gonna hear about this thread, but go ahead and take yer shots... WAYNE!LOL

Allow me to buy the next one and the next one after that! Thanks so much for that! Much appreciated and will take a kick at it tonight! Thanks Joe! HH

All of the government jobs Wayne! LOL HH

This is an oldy, but a goody! A Newfie makes his first ever trip to the mainland. While there, he decides to take a walk about through a grocery store to see what wonderful things, these mainlanders can buy! As he walks past the meat section, he notices these things called sausages. Seems many people are buying these things, so he decides to buy some too and bring them back to the rock. Upon arriving home, he gives the sausages to his wife and says. "honey, these are all the rage on the mainland, I'm going fishin and when I get back, I'll have those sausages for my supper." So off he goes fishin and when he gets home he calls to his wife, "honey, I'll have those sausages now". So he sits down at the dinner table and his wife brings in his plate and he looks at the prepared sausages and can only see a puddle of grease and some dried up crispy skin. "honey, what the heck happened to my sausages?" Wife, "well, once you cut the head and the tail off and gut 'em, there aint a whole lot left" HH

I wonder if he would let me post job descriptions for the jobs I currently have no candidates for? HH

Thanks to FnS for posting these, I really appreciate it Will! Cliff, I really like them too! But The Warden has changed the "motif" of the room and has decided that a brushed chrome look goes better with the new light fixture I installed as well as the other bathroom stuff like paper holder, towel holder etc... Cliff, even if I cut the cylinders, the plate pictured above them in the underneath shot will continue to hold the taps in place! I just may start to look around the house for my 5lb sledge! LOL HH

Wow, thanks for all the responses guys! I do have the same wrench Cliff, thanks, but the taps are not secured by couplings around the cylinders, the first place I looked! LundGuy, I really appreciate you taking the time to write all that out! I will probably do as suggested and remove the whole sink, once I learn how to approach these taps! Should have some pics up soon... and also very hearty thanks to all who PM'd me! Stay tuned! HH PS... Cory, that was funny!

The Blonde Handywoman A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money decided to hire herself out as a 'Handywoman' and started canvassing the neighborhoods. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. 'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said. 'How much will you charge me?' The blonde quickly responded, 'How about $50?' The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, 'Does she realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?' He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?' The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes .' A short time later, the blonde handywoman came to the door to collect her money. 'You finished already?' the husband asked. 'Yes,' the blonde replied, 'and I had paint leftover, so I gave it two coats - no extra charge.' Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her. 'And by the way,' the blonde added ... 'it's not a Porch -- it's a Lexus' HH

I agree it would be easier, but as I am not changing the drain system, just the taps, I'm hesitant to remove the whole sink. I do have access to the under side of the sink, there is just nothing there to un-screw! I beleive you are all correct in that it must be untethered from the top, but I can't get anything apart from the top, to find the screw head! Thanks for all your help and if possible, keep 'em comin! HH

Thanks all! Will, if you can and you want to, please feel free to drop by! Heck, there might be a dinner in it for yah! I have a crow bar , a sledge and a sawsall and am fully qualified with all! Yes it is a pedestal sink. I've tried turning the casings around the cartriges, but they don't seem to move very much and my concern being my frustration may end up getting the better of me and I will be buying a new sink and pedestal! Thanks, HH

Yah Cliff, I looked everywhere in the silly thing and can't find any allen wrench screw... I'll take a pic tonight and post it, if I can! LOL HH

Hi guys and sorry for the NF post/question! We have just completed a re-decorating of one of our bath rooms. The Warden bought new taps for the sink, however I am very confused as to how to remove the existing taps. I have no concerns about replacing them, I have some abilities, however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the old taps off! They are three separate entities, meaning the hot, cold and tap itself are not one piece, but separate from each other. I looked under the sink and found that there is a screw that appears to be holding the taps in place from above, but I can't figure out how to get to the screw head, from the top. I can remove part of the tap handle, but I don't see anything inside the handle or on the taps, such as a allen head or such! I'm afraid if I give it too much persuasion I just might break the sink! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, HH

What the heck is all that green stuff all over the ground????? Nice pics! HH

I rarely drink anything, but when I drink beer, I buy Steam Whistle and or Grolsh. If I'm just wanting to have some beer around the house, I'll buy Bud simply because it is not filling and doesn't do the nasty things to my system that most beer usually does! Mmmmm SteamWhistle! HH

Yup, for about 15 years!LOL HH

Just had our dining room painted last week. Our neighbour is a pro painter by trade and suggested a new line of Ben Moore paints that have just come out. Sorry, don't know the name, but this paint is remarkable in that it will not grow "crumby" with time, regardless of the colour you use. It is also very forgiving for those who's skill level are not up to pro level... speaking of leveling, it is self leveling. What really convinced us was the colour pallet available... like most manufacturers, they provide a number of colours, but what makes this stuff "unique" is that you can say, pick any three colours the paint is available in, and they will match each other! We tried playing this game at home, each on of us picking a colour, like from a deck of cards and every combination of three that were picked worked together. It also have a very tough finish when dry... which only takes less than an hour! HH

Actually Wayne, I've gotten out twice in the last 4 weeks! I must be doing something right, good behavior and the Warden lets me out... truth be told, I just start gettin really cranky around the house and the Warden writes out the day pass. The piece and quiet is obviously worth it to her! HH

Ok... here's my take on Brian... firstly, he has not been the same player since Chara tossed him around like a rag doll! I think his spine was removed in said event! ALso, he seems to be completely lost in the new era of the NHL, as he cannot seem to stop himself from clutchin, holding etc.. his can opener is useless as it just plants his butt in the penalty box and if you watch him in his own end, he just skates around pointing at the opposition, but not actually doing anything about them. He has passed his time of usefullness and would better serve the Leafs if he would accept a trade to any team willing to give up a bag of pucks for him! Again, just my humble opinion! HH

Great video there! Thanks for posting... funny story about the Offspring, which I did very much enjoy... my wife and I attended the Offspring show at the ACC a few years back... well, obviously I was the oldest dude there, gry hair etc... and when we sat down in our seats, everyone got up and moved! I think they thought I was a Narc because they kept lookin at us to make sure we were not approaching them as they lit their "smokables"! My wife and I still laugh about that to this day! HH
