We remembered to go to the bath supply store to pick up the parts we needed...but forgot to bring the ones that we had already!
Lianne went over in the morning to give these to Slava and then about 3 hours later she also stopped by just to pick up the mail. Turns out it was a good thing because the basement shower is leaking (needs a new cartridge) and the fancy cover plate in the master doesn't fit and needs to be exchanged.
So the water went on, and no pipes were harmed in the making of this house, but the water went off again to not waste.
I dutifully called the manufacturer of the faucet who told me the part number and to just go over to Home Depot (where we bought it) to get a 'new cartridge'. Sometimes I wonder what the Home Depot people think when I come in asking for parts...today the man in the plumbing quizzed me up and down and then gave me two different cartridges 'just in case'. Perhaps they don't expect I know what I am talking about ;).
Anyway, also pleasantly surprised to see the doors & trim delivered..then I remembered the finish carpenter was starting soon!
