Can you tell if the hot and cold are marked properly on the handles? If he put it on backwards, the correct orientation of hot and cold and hot would still be correct, but, they would be labeled incorrectly.
Also, why don't you just take off the handles and turn them around 180 degrees and put them back on? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee A.

Eager to show off this amazing accomplishment, he asked a friend to go along on his next hunting trip. Saying nothing, he fired his first shot and, as the duck fell, the dog walked on the surface of the water, retrieved the duck and returned it to his master. "Notice anything?" the owner asked eagerly. "Yes," said his friend, "I see that fool dog of yours can't swim." . [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
