A photo of the Moen shower cartridge and the parts after it had to be forcefully removed from the tub shower tap faucet housing. The cartridge came apart somehow in the housing, when I turned the tap on. I’ve never seen one fall apart like this before.

Happiness is, your tub shower cartridge💣when you want a shower and the only store carrying a replacement, is on your boycott list🤬. Curse and swear, but remember you bought extra ones a couple years ago😀. After further cursing, swearing, bruised knuckles😖, you get your shower.😎

Plumbing is a game of millimeters... that you always lose.

Had to replace the washing machine valves at my house. They were old and wouldn't fully turn off. So glad I was taught how to solder copper pipes. It ain't pretty, but it's holding. #DIY #plumbingsucks
