Cold Drinks
I went to a number of hardware stores today looking for a very specific adapter that would connect a utility sink faucet to a hair washing sprayer for Marlene’s studio. The two needed to be connected in order to make the hair wash station operable, and while replacing both the sink and the faucet were an option, I figured a small adapter that works with what she already had would be cheapest and easiest.
Well, I got the ‘cheapest’ part right…
Finding something with two different diameters and two different styles of threads proved too specific for a general hardware store. I ended up having to go to a plumbing specialty store where they connect two pieces together to create the ultra-specific, magic part I needed. It took me about 4 hours to find the right part, but for $17, I solved the sink issue for her without spending more money on it.
Nothing about the day was photogenic, but I did find this retro vending machine in the plumbing store amusing.
