The Terrifying Moment When You Think the Water Might Not Shut Off At All

This Old House's plumbing is broken again.  When we were drawing the little angel's bath, we realized the cold water faucet wouldn't shut off.  We have one of those ancient screw-type faucets in the bathtub.  We had the damn things replaced less than a year ago - that time the water came out through the kitchen light fixtures.  Hopefully it won't come to that this year.

We only have the one shower.

There is no shut-off to just the shower. If you want to shut off the water to the shower, you have to shut down the whole house.

Ah, what a money pit.

Ah, I hope I don't have to go to the bathroom tonight.

This is why you keep up your gym membership.  Shower access. 

Damn.
