Good thought ...

NO NO NO NO NO NO that's a Kohler and it has a tapered compression fitting. Wrapping it with TFE will only prevent it from being driven tight enough to seal and filing the seat on the faucet side will destroy a $600 faucet. Cap it until I get there please.

Cap it and wait for Zooms? Yep! That's the plan!

Thanks, everyone else. If this was a normal faucet I'd be all about it, but this is one of those special designer ones and I don't want to fuck it up (it was free, afterall and reallllly purty)

The facet has a hose which connects the the water supply line, correct?
That's where the leak is if I read it right, the end of the supply pipe should be nice and smooth and parallel err square if you will.
That's what I was talking about, not the facet. If it uses a compression fitting there well that's a different story.

The interior of the connection is brass and it's conically shaped like a flared gas fitting. Filing it would be a very bad idea.

Filing's bad ...
... mmmkay!

Ok see I didn't know the specifics so I offered what I had. And it was valid as far as it goes, many facets connect straight to galvanized pipe with hoses which use a rubber gasket to mate directly to the end of the supply pipe. This is where a file may have a purpose.

It's all good. I remember the old faucets with that kind of coupling. Back when anybody's spray hose and sprayer would fit on anybody's faucet. Those days are long gone.

When I re-did my old place in Chicago, we found 2 interesting things: Up in the attic, just laying between the rafters, were a bunch of newspapers from when the house was first built. 1892. Also, down in the front room, behind the hideous 1970's paneling there was the following written in pencil on the old plaster along with a bunch of measurements: "To whoever takes this panleing [sic] down put it back because it was really hard to do."

It must have felt that much more AWESOME to rip it out!

I have paneling in the wash room to rip out.

This thread made me squirt. Seriously. How enthralling! How exciting! *gasp* It was a tour-de-force. Or some bullshit.

I hate light wood, and iron your goddamn curtains.

This thread made me squirt.

I really hope this happens the next time you show up in one of my dreams. 

really really?

Iron your curtains??? How aNAL

Thanks! I love light wood too! I wanted to contrast the dark walls!

Thanks for the compliments on the curtains, too! I made a matching table cloth.

You're supposed to iron your curtains, Dr. ZZ Top.

Make the hair and beard twice as long and color it grey and you've got a winner!

Tru, have you ever tried napping on a bench at the bus stop with an empty cup in your hand? It might be a profitable experiment.

Not around here, there are just to many homeless people to compete with.

And my shit is not grey, yet but that cat is. It is threatening to go there.

>>You're supposed to iron your curtains, Dr. ZZ Top.<<

Ahh I was just poking at tricky.

Yes! I agree. See, that photo was taken after I finished them, and put them on the hanger to make sure they fit.

You're only saying that cause tricky wants to do you in the butt.

im hoping she takes it easy on my virgin mystery hole

You say it like Han Solo couldn't park the Falcon in there

Oh! Snap@!

Just cause the cheeks are big doesn't mean the hole is!

the hole

ugh. the idea of your "hole" makes me want to barf, then kill small children, and then barf on the carcasses. you are nasty.

God you are lame.

kill small children, and then barf on the carcasses. you are nasty.

That's hot.  Tell me more.  In your best late-night phone sex commercial voice!

That's alright, baby. I'll forgive you when you're begging to do tongue laps on this kitten
