Went to make coffee this morning and when I opened the cabinet to get my water tap chingasso, I saw water at the bottom of the cabinet! DAMMIT! Spent an hour or more trying to fix it temporarily and thought I did.

But, while working in the office later, Jen got up and immediately noticed a little water on the floor in front of the sink. My "plug" didn't hold, even with a super tight hose clamp so I bit the bullet, got out the LDPE tubing, and replaced all the vinyl sections.

Turned on the supply with fingers crossed but luckily no leaks. But the more rigid tubing made it more difficult to "hang" my rig on the back of the door so..

I added a small, plastic bottle to the door to catch any drips and I THINK it's good to go now. One of the last things you want to wake up to is a flooded kitchen. Been there and it's way no fun.
