Handyman's Notebook

Note to self, for the next time one wants to make that simple little repair job on that annoying little dripping faucet that's been keeping you awake at night:
A checklist:
1. Put a tarp on the floor.
2. Open both cabinet doors for more light.
3. Make sure bathroom door is closed.
4. Make sure towel cabinet is closed.
5. Make sure that manga are not in the path of any water spray.
5. Ditto for toilet paper.
6. And bed.
7. Double check to be sure that the hot water valve really is turned off, and not stripped and stuck in the "Full On" position.
7. Take the notion inherited from one's father saying that one must prove one's manhood and self worth by performing all minor domestic repairs, and chuck it out the window.
8. Call a plumber.
