Amazing lessons like always! The charisma … I see this as a networked show. ❤
Mercury, as someone who has a bathroom faucet with a very similar problem, this was amazing. I'd resigned myself to just leaving it shut off but this is great, I'm going to try to figure out how to actually fix it!
Just love this content. I have a bathroom sink that constantly drips no matter how tight i turn the hot and cold knobs shut,. could that be a stem issue?
