First of all, thanks so much y'all!
heirloomtomatoguy: that wire goes straight into a telephone box, and we don't use a wired phone, so no problem there(whew...if it was electric, hubby didn't want me to attempt it when he wasn't home). I would really love to be able to take care of it myself, and take it off his honeydo list. Tomorrow I will open the siding up and get a better view inside. Hopefully it is not soldered on, I don't have the knowlege or equipment for that.
henry: I will see if I can get it apart. I already bought a couple of new faucets, so hopefully I can swap out parts, or the whole thing, whichever is needed.
Stvrob: It is leaking out of the faucet, and from under the handle itself. Also the threads are pretty stripped, so it leaks from there, too(that one doesn't matter that much, since a leak just during the time it is on isn't that big of a deal).
Well, I will try to get into it tomorrow, hopefully it will be a doable thing, and save a plumber call! I will post pictures when I open it up.
Thanks again, guys!
Carrie
