Quoted:Quoted:DIY with a little knowledge, but remember one thing about tearing into old plumbing––one thing leads to another, to another, to another, to another . . .
An analogy would be an erect penis chasing a wet vagina.
It's just one fucking thing after another.
Much truth here. I finished a remodel on a 60 year old house about the middle of July. Replaced a tub, dishwasher and kitchen faucet. What a nightmare. Who ever put the dishwasher in originally didn't see fit to put a shut off valve in the supply line. Odd size copper in the bathroom, mixtures of hard and soft copper, hard lines all the way to the kitchen faucet, etc., etc., etc. The local plumbing supply place became my home away from home. I HATE working on old houses.
The house I live in was built, for the most part, by the local high school's building trades class. When I replaced the kitchen sink and faucet I found whoever plumped the faucet had used a weird mixture of hard copper and plastic parts. I also discovered there is no shutoff for the main supply in the house. You have to shut it off at the street. We also replaced the dishwasher. I was sitting in the family room while the guy who delivered and installed it was working. I heard him that's different. Once again strange plumbing, hard copper all the way to the dishwasher. It was pretty but what the fuck?
OP, how did things go?
