many of those things did, in fact, kill me. but, each time, i was resurrected on the third day, sometimes the fourth day, in time to jump into a game of 4 squares on the sidewalk and then run past the swingsets, (where the ground was always littered with corpses) towards a quick beheading on the steel carousel hooked up to a mini bike motor.

Re: help me identify his faucet cartridge - 1 year ago

Chicago Faucets are generally highly repairable unless the metal structures are done..or if it's old as dirt..The guy at the faucet shop, tho, has an excellent handle on the older metal and fiberous washer sizes and what not I use them all over my building and i love em. But, like anything else..there is a time to bail and get new.
