    FHC Story time

    Now most of you know I was a landlord for years. I always used Moen faucets and kept them all the same so I had 2 spares and always knew what I needed..
    so I have a dripping tub faucet; called Moen they sent replacement.. Not the same size called let them know.. sent pictures the very nice customer care woman advised me that model was in use 60s to 1974 they no longer have anything for it:jaw:
    I mean what plumbing cartridge lasts 50 years!!

    My beautiful bride called me a stubborn frugal procrastinator :bug:… I thanked her

    Ya like my pumpkin orange tub?? IMG_1510.jpeg
    Definitely not the same:headbang:

    I know they are not in style BUT IF IT AINT BROKE
    I only fix stuff that breaks.. that list is long enough

    so in meanwhile switched so leak is on cold side as I am on well that’s cheaper than hot water

    Moen did send me 70% off fixtures coupon

    It’s a Monday

    so a simple cartridge replacement will turn into a remodel :wacky:

    I've been struggling with a new wireless mouse since it arrived (my very old one left clicker gave out lol). Last night it finally just died, wasn't the steel file cabinet surface I'm using as a desk :rofl: :lol: Uh, yes, optical LOL. Duh! It had old batteries when I ordered it :picard: Works well now with fresh batteries.
