    I'm having heck installing a new tub faucet. Ours blew out yesterday and I believe whoever put it in the first place was drunk. I picked up what I thought I needed and am now on my second trip to the store. Town is 30 minutes away. I hate plumbing!

    Got it fixed. My dear wife made the last trip to town. She was adamant because I went to work at 4 this morning and git off at 5 and have to go in at 4 in the morning again. A good woman is a blessing!‍❤️‍:salute:

    I would rather do just about anything other than plumbing.

    Me to. Sad thing is it's pretty simple. You just never have what you need.

    Generations of different plumbing technology leads to nla parts for many older fixture's
    I've had to modernize several faucets and
    Shower assemblys.

    Glad I’m only 1 mile from Lowe’s when plumbing tasks come about.

    The most important thing to have when starting a plumbing job is a full tank of gas in your truck.
