Your cousins are in town and before you can welcome them aunt Susan has walked out of your bathroom letting you know the toilet is clogged. For some reason, the twins have water guns in the middle of the winter and you’re the only one who has a problem with that. Then in walks <i>Justin</i> <i>(or whatever his name is)</i> and you realize you didn’t prepare the house enough for this disaster in the making.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s the holidays and come hell or high water you’re determined to be a good host, and that means PREPARATION. A lot of it. Make a list and check it twice.</span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Making a Clean Break.</b> Stock up on cleaning supplies. If you’re running low, it’s going to be a lot easier to shop now before a 2 Liter of soda manages to pour 10 gallons of pop on your floor.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Scrub a Dub Dub.</b> Put those supplies to use. Clean the main living areas, the front of the house/apartment, where people enter, bathrooms, and where your guests will be sleeping if they are overnighting it. Check your appliances, faucetry, toilets and garbage disposal now. Nothing like the holidays overpowers the weaker dishwashers or tests how well your oven works.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Sort Your S*** Out.</b> Organize and declutter. You know all about that lamp cord and never trip on it, but maybe move it to the corner so that it doesn’t trip up grandpa Norm using his walker. If you need more space, designate a closet to cartoonishly pack full and denote with a “Do Not Open” sign.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Pop a Squat and Sit for a Spell.</b> Bring out your towels or chairs. Searching in someone else’s house for these can be a serious hassle when you know they’re needed. Same goes for making things like toilet paper and paper towels easy to spot.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Deflating Disaster.</b> Bust out your beds. If you have a guest room, make sure it’s prepared. If you’re using an air mattress in the living room, give a test run ahead of time so that your guest doesn’t wake up at 2 am on the floor in a floppy mess and shift to the uncomfortable couch because it’s too late to wake anyone up.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Don’t Get (Game) Bored Out of Your Mind.</b> Plan some back-up outings to combat cabin fever. If there is a breaking point where somebody says the two words, “I’m Bored”, do not scramble for a stack of activities to be rejected. The kids may bust out their phones and sit upside down on the couch instead of telling you this, so look for the signs. Plan a couple options ahead of time that work whether or not the weather complies: Movies, restaurants that will be open, indoor malls, city attractions, and landmarks are some simple solutions. If your family is more of the indoors type get some board games and cards ready (maybe try out some new ones instead of starting a family feud after a monotonous game of monopoly).</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b> Curate Your Cuisine.</b> Denote Dietary Restrictions. Griffin has gone vegan and although you can’t imagine a life without short ribs, consider an additional main course option or a simple substitution besides “Is Salad okay?” Food allergies also are fairly common, so make sure your main entree, your piece de la resistance, isn’t a forbidden fruit to your family and friends.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Brace the Place for Munchies.</b> Stock up snacks (on snacks on snacks). Even if you cook and have plenty of ingredients, guests aren’t as likely to bust out the hardware and do the same. Get a mix of snacks to have ready, possibly in contrasting pairs if you aren’t sure (salty or sweet, healthy choices or guilty pleasures), and an assortment of drinks for your guests.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Fill Up On Pharmaceuticals.</b> Restock your medicine cabinet. Chances are if you have a medicine cabinet or box of assorted medicines, some are expired. Grab some of the general basics (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, antihistamine, heartburn meds and bandages) so that the whole house doesn’t get down with the sickness. <b>\m/</b></span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Don’t Go Barking Mad.</b> Prepare for your pets. Is it too much to handle Molly who barks every time the door rings? It may be time to prepare for a dog sitter.</span></li>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b> Indicate Your Informative Inventory and Itinerary.</b> Make a short and concise list of household info. Wifi password, address, what channel the game is on, any “tricks” for the house (such as if you need to lift the toilet handle after flushing because you haven’t fixed the fill valve). Try to keep this as short as possible since handing out a whole page will get skimmed over.</span>

<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b> Call It a Day.</b> Finally, know when to stop preparing. Perfection is something we can’t achieve. There comes a point where the time spent isn’t going to bear any noticeable results. Take care of yourself during all this because the holidays are for you too (unless you’re trying to outdo your mother in law, in which case we hope you make your house as amazing as possible). </span></li>

Have you wanted to improve your shower experience in the past but the thought alone stresses you out? Luckily, we're here to wash those worries away.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>Don’t Be Singled Out</b><br />
You’re not alone in wanting to improve the performance of your shower. Most homeowners and renters have the <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Classic-Style-Shower-Heads-s/3686.htm" target="_blank">standard shower </a>mount: a 6-inch shower arm with a 45-degree bend, a ball joint attached shower head and a universal fitting to connect it all to the water supply.<br />

This typical setup is an excellent starting point because of how well it lends itself to many configuration possibilities. We’re going to give you a few options that don’t require bathroom construction or remodeling to create the wonderful shower experience of your dreams!<br />
<b><br /></b> <b><br /></b> <b>Put the Fun in Multifunctional</b><br />
The quickest and simplest shower head upgrade is to remove your current single function shower head and install a <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Massage-Multi-Function-Shower-Heads-s/3680.htm" target="_blank">multifunction shower head</a>. If you want to de-stress, look for a massage spray feature with a pulsating stream. Many multifunctions include a stream feature; a continuous and steady flow from a single point or a few points so close together they feel like one. Lastly, you’re likely to notice a spray function, a widening array of holes that disperses the water over a wider area. There are many more options, but these are the most frequent ones you are likely to come across.<br />

One quick suggestion to spruce up your shower is a fresh <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Nikles-D3305QMNPT-2-0N-US-p/nik-d3305qmnpt-2.0n-us.htm" target="_blank">Nikles Massage Multifunction Shower Head</a> (in Chrome or Brushed Nickel). This economic and environmentally friendly shower head features a soothing combination of rain and massage functions to switch between. Not only will you feel relaxed and refreshed, but you’ll be able to hose off without hosing your wallet.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b> <b><i>Pros:</i></b> Easy replacement/installation, great for thick hair, multiple spray functions, contemporary design<br />
<b><i>Cons:</i></b> Few angles (same as a single function), shower head fixed to showerarm<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>Right as Rain</b><br />

<a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Rain-Shower-Heads-s/3681.htm">Rain shower heads </a>have come a long way since their creation and now function as efficiently as other types of shower heads, creating a steady flow over a wide diameter. Though only single function, rain heads cover broader areas than typical spray settings on standard shower heads. Don’t believe the common myth that you have to tear out your shower ceiling to install a rain shower head. You don’t need to gut your bathroom to achieve the spa-like rain head experience.<br />
<br />
Since rain shower heads are angled downward for more significant impact and are also wider, you’re going to require an extension for your standard 45-degree shower arm, a new, longer 45-degree shower arm, or a 90-degree shower arm. The proper length shower arm allows the full functionality of a rain shower head allowing you to stand under a straight, vertical stream of water versus having to stand up against the wall. Today, there is an abundance of brands that produce rain shower heads to fit any budget, which means that matching your bathroom’s aesthetic is easier than ever!<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b> <b><i>Pros:</i></b> Efficiently get a more extensive & consistent spray, relaxing, steady flow<br />
<b><i>Cons:</i></b> typically single function, likely need new angled showerarm or extension<br />

If you’re looking for even more functionality from your shower head, consider switching to a detachable handshower. <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Hand-Held-Shower-Heads-s/3687.htm" target="_blank">Handshowers</a> let you shower from almost any angle with both single and multifunction settings. These options offer a more convenient way to clean yourself, your shower, your pets, and even home decor. Handshowers allow you to get clean in new angles without having to practice yoga.They’re also great for families with kids, helping to wash their hair without getting soap in their eyes (the bottle said ‘No Tears’, but we know that’s not true).<br />

Before taking the plunge converting to a handshower, first consider if you want a standalone handshower or a more complex option, like a combination <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/searchresults.asp?Submit=Go&Search=Hand+shower+unit">handshower with a showerhead unit</a> . There are numerous ways to mount your handshower such as a <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Jaclo-Water-Supply-Elbows-s/3777.htm">water supply elbow with mount,</a> a <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Jaclo-Wall-Mount-Brackets-with-Water-Supply-s/3778.htm">drop-in mount</a>, or a <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Wall-Mount-Hand-Held-Shower-Holders-s/5541.htm">wall mount</a>. When choosing a combination shower head and handshower, a <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/searchresults.asp?searching=Y&sort=5&search=2699&show=180&page=1">T diverter </a>is a super simple solution. Another benefit is that all of the hardware, including your hose, comes in an assortment of finishes to match your bathroom decor.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b> <b><i><br /></i></b> <b><i>Pros:</i></b> Wash shower walls & pets, so many angles, can still function as a mounted shower head<br />
<b><i>Cons:</i></b> Don’t drop it while on, intermediate installation, need multiple pieces of new hardware<br />

<b>Finish with style.
</b>Don't compromise fashion for functionality when you can have both. Changing your fixtures' finishes, from chrome to brushed nickel, creates a new ambiance while keeping familiar functionality. Simply converting your hardware to a new finish can really bring a room together. Don't like the style of your fixtures? We will identify the brand and suggest upgrades to meet your desired look.

Let our technical support experts identify your plumbing repair parts for you!<br />
<br />
If you are reading this right now we assume that you have a plumbing fixture that is not performing properly. You may have a dripping American Standard bathroom faucet or a very old Crane toilet that will not stop running. Perhaps you want to restore a vintage bathroom or kitchen but are not sure if their hard-to-find plumbing replacement parts are still available or have been discontinued. Typically, most of us will run to our computer and search the Internet hoping to identify the exact plumbing part we think we need. If you are fortunate enough to even find the part, how can you accurately verify that it’s the part that will fix your plumbing issue? At times, it feels like the search is a dead end and you have nowhere else to turn. What you need is an Authorized Genuine OEM plumbing parts distributor that will provide great customer service, identify the repair parts needed and provide a solution to put the plumbing issue behind you. Welcome to the <a href="https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/aboutus.asp" target="_blank">Chicago Faucet Shoppe</a>. We are the only brick and mortar web store that has been providing this service since 1954.<br />
<br />
For years, we have assisted plumbers and DIYers living in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs fix most any plumbing problem. We now provide that same technical service to our online customers all over the world. There are many questions you might ask when a plumbing fixture is no longer working properly. The first step we take is to identify the problem you are having with your fixture. Our technical support staff will ask a series of questions to familiarize us with the situation. Once we discuss the plumbing issue, we can help identify the possible source of the problem. Our patient staff will take their time, walk you through what might be wrong and then specify a solution.<br />
<br />
Once we have identified the source of the issue together, you may be asked to email a digital image or video of your fixture and/or parts to <a href="mailto:tech@chicagofaucetshoppe.com">tech@chicagofaucetshoppe.com</a>. This image or video provides our technicians a first-person view of the fixture. This step will help us specify exactly the manufacturer, age and specific plumbing repair parts you will need. Luckily, our years of experience take the guess work out of the equation.<br />
<br />
Our technicians at Chicago Faucet Shoppe take immense pride in delivering customer service and expert technical advice. The accuracy it requires to specify the correct part is not simple, however, we strive to get it done efficiently the first time around. In fact, we are so confident in our team’s expertise, Chicago Faucet Shoppe is offering 10% off the first order we specify. If for any reason we’re wrong, we’ll happily exchange the part – no questions asked. Call us today and we promise to turn your plumbing problem into a plumbing solution.

performing properly is, </span><b style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">"</b><i style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><b>Should I repair or replace the faucet?</b></i><b style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">"</b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> During any
residential or commercial faucet’s life cycle, it may leak, clog, or have a low
flow. These are common disturbances for any water fixture. Therefore, </span><i style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">we</i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> at </span><i style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/?Click=152982" target="_blank">The Chicago Faucet Shoppe</a> </i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">have
come up with some ideas that can help better determine whether to repair or
replace a faucet that is not working properly.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">How old is your faucet?</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The age of the faucet is important as the faucet may have met
the end of its life cycle. Ten to 15 years is a great life for a faucet, and
some can last longer. However, if you are experiencing problems with your
faucet, it is possible that age and use could have taken its toll. You may want
to replace the faucet if it is old or if the cost of the parts for repair are
somewhat expensive. You don't want to throw too much money at an old faucet
that may have run its course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">If age is not a factor or the parts are not close to equal the
cost of your faucet when new, you may want to repair the faucet. Sometimes, the
faucet repair can be a less expensive alternative than replacing the entire
unit. It is important to research what the cause of the problem is before
calling a plumber. Calling <i>The
Chicago Faucet Shoppe</i> before you call a plumbing service to
diagnose your problem can save you time and money. We can help determine over
the phone what could be causing the problem and then what parts, along with their
cost, are needed for the repair. If you happen to be in the city of Chicago,
swing by the shop and our team will be more than happy to assist you. This way
you can determine which path</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "symbol"; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Symbol;">¾</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">repair or replace</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "symbol"; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Symbol;">¾</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">you may wish to go down
