I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar

This statement has been said quite frequently over the years. Usually when I do something for the first time. These things are usually things that most women wouldn't be doing. I have always felt that I could just about anything if I just put my mind to it. Not that I haven't made mistakes over the years. But the important thing is that I recognize that I learn from my mistakes and not let the fear stop me. This was the case with the shower. I had the plumber put in the tub, but I did the tile and grout. It was then time to hook up the spout and leaver. This is not something I have done in the past. With the last bathroom I had the plumber come back and do it. This time I said that it was time for me to try. I spoke to one of my maintenance guys and then started the other night. I got the spout on no problem and then started on the faceplate and leaver. This was starting to give me some trouble and then Jim was calling me for help somewhere in the house and I gave up. This morning I tried again. I am happy to report that for the first time in 5 years we have 2 fully functioning bathrooms (that don't leak) in our house. I was like a kid at Christmas when I turned on the water and it came out and then the shower worked too. YES. By the way, the bathroom turned out great and when I get a new camera, I will post some pictures.
