Recently, I began experiencing problems with my the faucet in my shower. The handle was starting to get very loose, and water would leak from it whenever it was turned on. I tried to fix it, but quickly realized that this project was going to be beyond my abilities (I’m definitely not handy around the house!). The obvious solution was to contact one of our local handymen and get the shower fixed correctly. The call was made on Friday morning, and that afternoon someone was at my house working on it. The guy, Ray, shut off the water to the whole house (the was no shut-off valve for just the shower), assessed the situation and determined that the entire shower faucet would need to be replaced. Ok, no big deal… just replace the faucet and let me get on with my day. The problem was that there was no access panel to reach the plumbing. That meant that Ray was going to have to cut a hole in the wall of the adjoining bedroom (my children’s bedroom) so he could get in. Great… this is not starting out well.
