I put Tessa down for her nap at 11:30, and immediately started in on the one thing I really wanted to accomplish today.  Replacing the leaky bathroom faucet.  Now, over 2 hours later, this is how it stands:

 There is a plastic nut under the basin.  If you search the internet, they say there is something called a basin wrench that will easily remove this nut.  The people at Lowe's have never heard of such a thing.  Seriously, am I the first person to ever change a faucet?  Do I need to invent a tool to make this job easy?

So, we are waiting for Tessa to wake up so we can make a trip to Home Depot.  I usually don't like going there, but hopefully they are more helpful that the plumbing department at Lowes.
