What to say about a black tap?  I guess I should point out that it is another product of those  those Swedish geniuses at Ikea (love the Scandis).  So rather than spend hundreds of dollars on tapware (when did “tapware” become a noun?) I spent under a hundred.  It was also easy enough to install.  I had to buy another monkey wrench (yes, I am the proud owner of monkey wrenches – plural) and I enlisted the the help of my housemate (now officially known as the Water Man), and well, I got the job done.
