Yikes.

Any more water spraying around the Tower household and you'll need to vacate due to mold damage.

In a way, yes, but I also paid for immediate response.  And in actuality the cost without that would be closer to $150.  But you're right, I overpaid, I knew I overpaid when I did it, and did it by choice because I didn't want to spend all day sourcing out plumbers because that would have meant taking a day off work, which costs me a lot more than the difference.

For $15 you can get a great book on home plumbing -> Black & Decker's Complete Guide to Home Plumbing.  It has all kinds of great stuff it in -> faucets, replacing valves, different types of piping and joints, etc.

You might check the library to see if they have it  8)

Hometime from PBS also has some great Howto tapes.  I bought some at a garage sale for .25cents each.
