Slow guest days gives me an opportunity to do a little maintenance in the private baths of our Joseph bed and breakfast.  Today's mssion was to replace a ceramic cartridge that was causing a leaky faucet.  An easy job for a professional plumber.

After I enlisted Heather's aid, it only took us only an hour.  Heather hanging on one end with a wrench and me applying a little muscle.  What a sight. . .

While up close and personal with the sink, I noticed that it's time to replace the sink caulk.  I decided, "Why not replace the caulk on all three sinks in the upstairs guestrooms?"  Another simple job that only took two hours, and I only have a "little" repair work to do after one of my tools slipped. . .

Keeping up on maintenance in the guestrooms is an ongoing effort.  It's a lot harder in the summer when our bed & breakfast is so busy.  During the winter, I have the time to make a permanent repair. 

After nine years, I'm very pleased with how well the rooms appear.  It's a compliment to our guests and our housekeepers, and the contractors who renovated this old bungalow nine years ago.
