Thank you, Suresh! Having a sink with running water and a working dishwasher seem like a miracle. Out of habit, I may still walk towards the bathroom sink when I need to fill a water bottle. That is no longer necessary this afternoon.
We found out we needed new kitchen countertop when pulling out the old sink and faucet on April 11th. Since that time there's been a hole, then new quartz countertop, and finally an undermount sink and new faucet. Yet it didn't all get connected to water and sewer until a few hours ago.
Being grateful for the little things in modern life is important.
