If you are merely replacing an existing faucet, choose the same style of faucet already in place to make installation easiest. If you know what you need, you can purchase replacement parts before you start the project. If not, then you should wait until you have removed the old parts and take them with you to the hardware store so you can match the new components exactly. Many shower components come pre-packaged as a set so you are sure to have everything you need, including new faucet handles. There are 3 styles of shower faucets available:  Single-handled shower faucets have a tee connection to both hot and cold water supplies and control water temperature and water flow with just 1 handle. Double-handled shower faucets have 1 control for hot water and 1 control for cold water. 3-handled shower faucets work the same as the double handled faucets but have an additional handle for the bathtub. In this application, the third handle controls the strength of the water flow and determines whether the water goes to the tub or the shower. Aside from the replacement parts or the new faucet, the following tools and materials are needed to complete this project:  Adjustable pliers A large adjustable wrench or pipe wrench Teflon tape (often called plumber’s tape) Screwdrivers (Phillips and flat head) A pan or container to catch any water remaining in pipes Towels or rags for wiping up small puddles and drips A box or container for discarded components Safety goggles and gloves Locate the shut-off valve for the appropriate bathroom and turn the water off. Most homes have shut-offs in place for individual bathrooms as well as one for the kitchen so you should not need to shut off the water supply for the whole house.  If you are on a city water system, the shut-off valve should be located at the water meter. If your home is on a private well, you will need to find your pressure tank. Newer tanks are usually blue in color while older tanks may be any color. Typically, the shut-off valve itself is located on the main outlet pipe near the tank. To close this valve at either source, turn it clockwise until closed. This will immediately stop water flow to the house. Once you have shut off the water supply, open the shower faucet valves to release remaining water from the pipes and ensure that the water is indeed off. If you're going to be cutting through the tiles or wall, it's important to drop some cloth to protect the bathtub. Make sure the shower area is clean and dry, then use a painter’s drop cloth or other protective covering on the shower floor and tub surface to protect it from scratches and chips.

Get out one 4-ounce (112 g) package of goat cheese. If the goat cheese is puck-shaped, slice the puck horizontally, so you get four thin rounds. If the goat cheese is log-shaped, cut the goat cheese vertically, so you get 6 rounds. Try to slice the cheese while it's cold. This will make it easier to cut. Place the slices of goat cheese on a small serving plate. Drizzle one tablespoon of honey over the cheese. Finely chop 1/2 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender and sprinkle it over the cheese. If you want to use fresh lavender from your garden, ensure that it hasn't been sprayed with chemicals. You may need to use a full teaspoon of the fresh lavender. Place the plate of honey goat cheese in the refrigerator. Marinate the goat cheese for one hour. This will give the flavors a chance to develop. Sprinkle the goat cheese with a little sea salt according to your taste right before you serve it. Consider serving the honey marinated goat cheese with rosemary crackers or spiced nuts and figs.

The Moon Festival is often seen as the second most important holiday on the Chinese calendar, second only to New Year. It’s a harvest festival that originates from moon worship, and is meant to celebrate the changing seasons and new-to-old cycles of life. The Moon Festival is a time for family and togetherness, similar to an American Thanksgiving, and the best way to celebrate is by sharing a meal and catching up with family. This meal is traditionally made and eaten at home, but some families today choose to eat out to save on time and effort. Many people also choose to eat outside under the stars, taking advantage of the warm fall weather and using the opportunity to appreciate the moon.  If you’re hosting, make sure to get in touch with your relatives a few weeks beforehand to invite them and confirm that they’re coming. Specify a time and whether you’d like them to bring any dishes. If you eat outside, you can set up a blanket on the grass and have a picnic-style dinner. Set up a bench or small, portable table as your honor table. If you’re away from your family during the Moon Festival, or if some of your loved ones are away, make sure to call or message to wish each other a happy Moon Festival. and head outside to moon gaze together. After dinner, serve your family tea and enjoy your dessert of mooncakes, picture pastries, and fruit. If you ate inside, take your tea and pastries outdoors and sit down together to look at the moon and enjoy each other’s company.  Many families use this time together to reminisce about times past and talk about family members who have passed away or can’t be at the celebration. Hang your lanterns outside, too. They’ll give off a soft, pleasant glow while you talk. Family is at the center of the Moon Festival celebration, and ancestors take a place of special honor. To show your respect to ancestors and family members who have passed away, burn incense and bow 3 times in front of your honor table. Families typically allow children to stay up late on the night of the Moon Festival. Include them in family conversations or read to them from books of Chinese poetry. You can also let them march around with their colorful lanterns. Make sure they’re old enough to carry the lanterns without hurting themselves or spilling the candle. You can also replace the tealight inside with an electric light that looks like a candle, often right down to its sputtering glow. Chinese communities often hold special events to commemorate the Moon Festival, including fire dragon dances, lion dances, lantern exhibitions and carnivals. You can see if any events are being held near you, or even travel to larger celebrations in China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, and other countries where the holiday is observed.  If you decide to make a trip, be sure to book your tickets and accommodations well in advance. Large cities known for their celebrations, including Beijing and Hong Kong, will often fill up quickly in the days beforehand. In many countries, the day after the Moon Festival is considered a holiday, with work and school closed. Keep this in mind if you’re traveling—you’ll be able to stay up later than usual, but some businesses may take the day off.
