I've got 7000 acres and a backhoe. Just saying. No reason.

This is bullshit. Somebody posts about a leaking faucet and boom, the bastard in upstairs bats has a leak. Its a Moen and about 30 years old. Hope they still make the damn part thing you shove in there.

the damn shutoff on the cold turns but now it drips, and the hot is stuck. Is there anything more godawful than plumbing

Your posts.


Badda bing

They still make the same cartridge for moen. It takes a 1225b and a cartridge puller.

But seriously, that's what I'm talking about. Usually when someone does plumbing for some reason they buy the cheapest God damned shut off valves. And then shit like this happens. Most of the time you're better off not even putting them in.

You're pretty limited on what valves you can buy. The key is to turn them on and off occasionally to keep them working freely

If it's dripping around the stem, you should be able to stop it by tightening the packing nut

replaced both shutoffs....no crisis thankfully, had to buy the puller for the new cart...works great now. I still hate plumbing

After talking to insurance, which did nothing but piss me off.....raising rates 10-20% if I have the first claim...ever...wanted me to call in serve pro etc.....

I ripped up carpet, took out the pad and cut a couple of 2' sections of soaked drywall out and am blowing fans to try to prevent mold.

This hasn't helped my mood today.

Insurance companies suck!

When something similar happened to me, I said **** it and cut the sheetrock off 3 feet above the floor and moved some serious air down the hallway. I got busy and left it open for quite some time and never seen any mold start in any of the seams. Eventually just replaced it with old barn roofing steel and rough cut trim on the bottom and joint as it was connected to the mud room anyways.

This will make everyone feel better....

I realize we haven't cleaned our dryer vent for a few years. It's a vent that goes to the roof. What's my best bet for cleaning this?

They sell vent cleaning brushes that you attach to a cordless drill at lowes for around $40

Those work fine but if you get too aggressive with the drill they can snap, and then you'll have a real problem.
