    My kitchen sink faucet drips (had to remove the nozzle thing that added more pressure because it kept getting stopped up with grit)and now it leaks around the handle too. Is this expensive to have fixed or could I do it with a good "How to" manual?

    Sure, as long as you can get the replacement parts, usually fuacet repairs are fairly simple, but it really depends on the model of fuacet you have. Most fuacets have a series of o-rings, rubber washers, and/or cartridges. Just a matter of dissasembling the fuacet and reassembling with new parts. Remember, its always a good idea to flush the facuet with cartridedges etc removed to clear any debri in the line.

    Thank you so much for your quick response and advice. Since I don't even know what a cartridge is, I better think about this.
