Drippy Faucet Blues

So we shut off the faucent on Monday and it doesn't quite shut off. Being an experienced homeowner I figure it's a gasket or cartridge that I just need to replace. Faucet knob and cover removed I realize that there is no accessible shutoff from the front. Out comes the knife to cut out the back of the wall to validate that assumption. Lynn called our favorite plumber who laughed with us on the nuances of home ownership when previous owners do things below code. A $450 (estimated) faucet leak. Sigh.

Thanks John for coming out and fixing our sump pump when all else failed on the shower.

Fix it fathers are the best. And yes, it is incredibly frustrating to think a project should be easy and find out that someone with the medical miracle of no brain fixed your house. It's never easy.
