<p>Having fixed by now about half of various plumbing fixtures in my house, the biggest lesson I learned is: don't give up.</p><p>When wet, slimy parts are strewn across the floor and that stupid nut just refuses to budge, or that leak keeps resurfacing again and again… it's easy to despair and feel like you'll never put it back together. Which could mean not having water in the entire house for who knows how long?</p><p>This is when need to keep breathing and do methodically what you can. It'll work out.</p>
