The previous Moen lasted 13 years with no problems except the handle “breaking off”. It was scheduled for replacement some time as it matched the sink color and that is no longer the trend. Brushed chrome or nickel currently.
I have been told for years by plumbers and non plumbers that the fixtures you buy v what plumbers buy are different. Probably so. Either way, since DIY is getting less and less for me, having a registered professional provide the fixture and install likely won’t cost that much more based on the last experience. Plus the plumber “owns” the installation if they are reputable.
#1, got some but around here if stored in the garage they tend to deteriorate in a few years. Probably gets to around 130°F out there. Paint spoils in about 2 years. Spackle, caulk about 1. Stapler is hanging on peg board but staples sometimes get gummy after a while. I guess the glue that holds them together melts?
Yup
Yup, yup. Can be a big problem if water or electric must be off during the project.
Thinking that maybe hiring someone who likely has needed parts in their vehicle is good. Not always true as professionals have had to leave to go get parts.
No projects worth being called good. My biggest one is cleaning off my workbench in the garage. It’s too damned hot out there!
Stuff covering it are an older “surround sound” system from a bedroom remodel and a 35 year old microwave oven that still works great. I know if I take these to good will or another agency they are going in the dumpster. Probably should set up the receiver and amp for radio in the garage. Probably should trash the microwave. Thought of offering it for free on nextdoor but it meets 1985 standards, not 2020 standards. I doubt it is dangerous as safety mechanisms worked when retired. Whatever, time to try to recycle it and free up that work bench for the fall season when it’s only 90°.
