The Gorgon’s Head

It was an inauspicious morning; arguments in the kitchen and three arm loads of pipe thrown out the kitchen window into the weeds and woods. It was enough to make you want a drink and lobotomy before breakfast.

In the end, diplomacy ruled and a detente was reached. The Mrs. would go shopping with her mom while Jack and I slew the Gorgon.

It took us the better part of the day to sever its head and install the tangled mass beneath the kitchen sink. Fortunately, we only had to make one trip to Lowe’s to make it all work.

Remember, there is no such thing as too much plumber's putty. The excess will ooze out and is easily scraped away. A leakless seal is a thing of great beauty.

Against all odds, everything seems to work. This includes the Tankless Water Heater Number 2, amazing.

Only one final rite is required for completion: a thick bead of caulk under the sinks lip on the countertop. That lovely is waiting for me tonight.
