El Chorro


Our beautiful, expensive, copper faucet that we got for super cheap on Ebay started leaking. Sigh. Daniel looked at it and couldn't open it up to fix it, so we went to Lowe's to find a new faucet. It's a little depressing how chinzy a $170 faucet is. But we bought it as the leak was getting ridiculous and we couldn't face wasting that much water. But once we got it home, Daniel simply had to try fixing it one more time. He and Joaquin had a great time pulling it out, as you can see. Daniel did finally manage to get it open, at the price of a few scratches and found it was surprisingly easy to fix. Now it works better than it ever did (turns out they put part of it together wrong in the first place) and we get to keep our beautiful faucet and pay no money! Handy husbands are sure useful. Not to mention fun for little boys. My favorite picture is the one where Joaquin is apparently holding the faucet steady while Daniel does something to it underneath; using Daniel as his footstool. Looks wildly uncomfortable, but they seemed fine.
