And on the fifth day…
…lo, water flowed from the garden taps and I was able to wash up. Obviously this still needs tiling and all the rest of it, but honestly, the feeling of water coming out of those taps was almost as good as turning on the tea urn tap in our off-grid cottage.
Taps truly are the mark of civilisation. Thanks to everyone who posted comments about brass taps and garden taps – I’ll be back next week, possibly even with a post that’s NOT about my flipping’ kitchen.
Looks great Ros , I’m having kitchen envy. Xx
Thanks Lynsey – it’s getting there and I’m excited about how it’s going to look! Getting to the fun part now – I was actually measuring the height of the beautiful coffee pot you got us last Christmas to make sure I plan in a shelf that will fit it! See you soon x
Congratulations! What I hate about over swivelly modern taps is that it’s so easy to waste lots of water as they open so easliy, proper ordinary pronged taps are much easier to control, well done with the genius solution.
looks fab and the whole ‘episode’ has been most useful with regards to increasing my knowledge on ‘taps’!!!
i’ve even now got a pinterest board called ‘taps’ !!!!!! hilarious
