How to Fix a Leaky Tap at Home in 15 Minutes
I am a handy Daddy for the day... A D-I-Y plumber. The kitchen sink tap had been leaking for a month. Did not have time to fix it till today. I thought it was going to be a chore and considered hiring a professional plumber. However being in a good mood today, I decided to do it myself... with the help of wife and two kids. Everything was done in 15 minutes. 1. Took a picture of leaky tap with my Samsung Omnia 2. A picture paints a thousand words. So taking a picture is easier than explaining what type of tap we need. The Samsung Omnia 2 came in handy for such purpose. 2. Walked to the hardware shop downstairs to show the picture. The hardware shop is conveniently located a few steps from our home. The decision was quick. There wasn't much choice of models to select except one. 3. Bought a similar tap at S$22. Wife asked if they have the old kind of tap that last longer. They said they don't make such a thing anymore. Add S$30 if we hire their plumber to fix.
