Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, my plumbing job sucks as expected.... Both outside faucets are unrepairable. The newer one out back was just falling apart. I was lucky it didn't rupture and fill the wall with water. The older front one WAS rebuildable, but cant find the collar seal and the handle. It was starting to deteriorate on the shaft screw, so not worth going to extremes to find the parts. I just cut the front pipe inside and popped a SharkBite valve on it for now. Got a better replacement for the back and installed it. As expected it was a pain. lots of :mob::mad::wtf::BangHead: for a couple hours. Lol. Connecting new to old/ getting water out of the old run so it stops cooling the joint. always a challenge.
I'll have to move some stuff and get more part to do the front one another day...
I totally understand. I spent 2 weeks in 2014 in Chesapeake area of VA. fixing leaks on a ship they let the pipes freeze on. Fix all known leaks, pressure up the system mark the new ones, rinse and repeat. I bought out all the fittings in Home Depot and Lowes and half the fittings in the Norfolk Home Depot. Had one that would not stop dripping so used the old wadded up ball of bread in the pipe trick. Just make sure you let it get totally wet before flushing it out a valve.
