Another water leak
ChadTower:
Dammit... I haven't even finished cleaning up the last one and this time the kitchen faucet sprung a leak... on the hot water side. Of course, just like last year when the bathroom faucet did this, the cutoff valve is useless. Doesn't stem the flow much at all.
So, gotta find a plumber tomorrow. Grr.
shmokes:
That's lame. I hope stuff like this doesn't have to come out of your PB&J fund. That's would be no fun.

Any time I do plumbing, I just shut off the main supply. You can never be too safe. ;)
ChadTower:
I had to shut off the main supply anyway to stop the leak. It was the only way. I wanted to shut off just the sink so that we could do stuff like bathe and have water to the rest of the house until the repair... no such luck.
shmokes, there isn't enough in my pb+j fund to cover this anyway. That money is going to a new dot matrix screen for The Shadow.

It doesn't take long (or much skill or knowledge) to replace a kitchen faucet and a shut off valve. I really don't see why you would want to pay a plumber $100 to do it.
