The Drippy Faucet

It all started with a simple drip. I have heard, from a plumber friend of mine, about the gates in the valves sticking before but never did I believe changing them out would be a problem or even hard. I believed that all I would have to do is go to the local hardware store, Home Depot, and purchase a rebuild kit that includes 3 stems, 3 seats, 3 chromed handles and trims. First, the instructions recommended turning the water off to the house as to not make a mess. Third, they said to remove the old seats and stems. Fourth, reassemble with the new seats, stems, and attach the new handles. I finished the install in less than fifteen minutes and walked outside to turn the house water back on.
