A $23.99 Solution to a $500.00 Problem

No, I'm not decorating for Christmas!  

I just don't have a lot of pictures of my kitchen sink... 

So here is the problem.  

The small spout in the picture above 

is our reverse osmosis water system.  

It started leaking from the top a few weeks ago 

so we turned the whole thing off.  

We had a plumber over for a few things 

and this was one of the things 

on the list to check out.  

We have to have everything in good working 

order as the house is up for sale.

The plumbers checked out the system 

and diagnosed the problem as a leak 

in the actual faucet fixture 

on the top of the counter. 

Oh boy!  

Dollar signs were flashing in my eyes 

as they were explaining how much it would cost 

to replace the system...  

We put the R/O system in when 

we built the house and we used it quite a bit.  

When all of the kids were at home we refused 

to buy bottled water... 

I was on a green kick for sure!  

I still don't buy much bottled water 

but we didn't miss the R/O system 

while it was down either...

The plumber suggested swapping out 

the R/O system for a simple soap dispenser.  

I'm telling you it was a stroke of pure Genius!  

Mr. Beaux and I went to Lowe's over the weekend 

and found one for $23.99 that matched 

the other fixtures perfectly 

and when the plumbers came back 

they installed the soap dispenser.  

Now, this is certainly something 

that we could have done on our own 

but they were coming out to work 

on the Master Shower anyway. 

I know that it seems like such a small thing 

but when you save that much money 

you want to tell people about it! 

It looks like it was always there.  

And that's exactly what I was going for! 

I'm glad I thought of it! *Wink*

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
