Default What a difficult job

See my Bath tap problem on 26th April.
Having followed all the ideas given in the above thread and finding none
of them worked I decided to replace the taps. As we could not source an
exact replacement her indoors dictated that both the sink and the bath
taps would have to be replaced.
I knew the bath taps were awkward, from when I replaced them 10 or so
years ago, however I failed to realise how much my flexibility had
deteriorated in the intervening years. What a difficult and quite
painful job, took me a day and a half to do all four, never again, I
will employ a plumber (one younger that me ;-) next time.)

Perhaps your wife has retained more flexibility and could thus implement her
own dictate

In article , Brian Gaff
scribeth thus
Funnily enough, a friend had a lady plumber round some time back and he was
amazed at some of the positions she could get into. He claims his interest
was purely casual, perish the thought he was ogling...

ladies who well .. contort to odd shapes;!...
