Just about everything leaked in our new home when we first got here. I had to repair the plumbing before we could really settle in.
We had no water for two days while I was working on the plumbing. The toilet was the worst. The water valve was leaking badly and filling up an 8 ounce cup every 10 minutes.
The kitchen faucet was the very worst but since it was not causing any damage I considered it a lower priority. It had a steady stream flowing out of it all the time.
Both bathroom faucets leaked as well.
Even the pipe to the shower head leaks when in use but thats not a problem right now because we have no hot water. The water heater does not work.
None of this bothers me though because we got a very good price for two houses and the land.
And since the water heater is already bad it will not hurt to replace the elements with DC solar powered heating elements when I can afford it.
After a few trips to the hardware store and back I finally got the three faucets working and the toilet leaked stopped.
For now we have water again.
I still have to replace the drain under the kitchen sink and fix the water heater. And get a plumber to fix the leaking shower fitting because that is copper and needs to be soldered.
But we are getting there.
