Oh, they come in sizes? How do I know what size/rate this one is? There are some numbers on it, but they don't obviously match any volume per unit time measurements.

Finally connected the dissatisfactory shower water pressure I've had "lately" with the new showerhead I installed about a year ago.

Took out the flow restrictor yesterday.

This morning, I am the cleanest, and most awake, I've ever been.

I need to see if there's such a thing as a half flow restrictor. It's almost impossible to turn it *down* enough now.

The useful pressure control zone needs to be larger and also not saturating the heat control.

Funniest thing I saw on today.
Don't try this at home, kids!

TODAY
"There are three kinds of pipe. There's what you have, which is garbage - and you can see where that's gotten you. There's bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then, there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money."
- Cosmo Castorini

Three AND two chores done and it isn't even 10:30 on the first day of a three-day

(Two of those plumbing chores failed to achieve their objective, but that ain't my fault, baby!)

Let’s normalize putting toilet supply line shutoff knobs in easily accessible places.

Sometimes the internet makes me feel crazy and I feel obligated to repay the favor.

question
Should I be at all concerned at the fact that when an upstairs/3rd floor apartment unit flushes their toilet, when the water reaches my unit area, there's enough force to shake the lid of my toilet? As in, enough force through that water passing to shift things, in a sense?
I just worry the pipes are being moved around somehow and could burst or otherwise...

Replaced the syphon valve in a toilet and hooo boy did I spend a long time getting water in all sorts of places it shouldn't be. Also swearing a lot.

Well that was exciting! A compression joint just after our stopcock somehow loosened itself and started spraying out water all over the kitchen. Seems to be ok after tightening it up. Thank goodness it didn’t happen while we we away last week!

Got a stuck brass fitting and need some . It's a half-inch threaded valve that fits into an elbow affixed to framing. Have tried penetrating oil without success, and can't reach the valve to tap on it successfully. This is on a Geberit in-wall toilet tank.

A slow leak* under the bed where the washer pumps out through the hull.

Replaced two quarter turn valves and of course the water kept cooling the pipe faster than I was able to heat the pipe.

Spent the day battling with plumbing installed 20+ years ago. Have swapped the kitchen mixer (despite initially having a leak, tracing the source, rectifying the bugger), but am not celebrating until a week of use - then I can unclench my glutes! I am not a plumber and I pity those who are!!!

Today, on holiday, we removed one toilet and replaced it. It doesn’t leak.
