Bathtub Mafia
To further my quest for dominion over the world, I'm signing on with the Bathtub Mafia (aka Signature Hardware). As I understand it, they've been making the rounds and talking with other Housebloggers (you know who you are) about some quid pro quo. Nothing scary, which is a little disappointing, but I see it as a first step in the right direction. I mean, no one enslaved the world in a day. You've got to pace yourself. Before too long I'll raking in tons of bootleg profits and buying politicians like they're galvanized 12 penny nails.
Heute The Devil Queen, Morgens dem Welt!
It's sad how excited I was to be solicited by a bonafide purveyor of reproduction antique hardware. Really, I need to get out more.
Since they asked nice and answered all my questions (like, "Why me? I suck and I'm crazy. I mean, have you seen my house?!), I figured I'd go ahead and do it. Prior to joining the Mafia, I'd seriously considered buying some stuff for my clawfoot tub from them, but I'm just too damn poor to afford it. It sad when you can't satisfy your lust for chrome and brass. Pipe envy is never pretty. As far as I can tell, everything about a clawfoot tub is expensive no matter where you get it. This is why I'm looking for replacement gaskets for our tub's original faucet. Spending $2 or $200, it's not much of a choice.

Believe it or not I bought the whole shabang at home depot for $72.00. You have to order it online. They don't have it in the stores(at least not in NY) We have it up and running in our salvaged clawfoot ($30.00 on Ebay)
