This mothers day my wife and I decided to go out to lunch. We got up mid morning and I was getting ready to take a shower. I turned on the water and much to my surprise water started spraying from the wall! That's right straight from the wall not the showerhead! I shut off the water and decided to try tightening the pipe that comes out of the wall that the showerhead is attached to and it broke off in my hand!

My wife and I got ready using a different shower and went ahead with our lunch plans. After I went to Lowes to buy the new parts and ripped a hole in the wall to repair the pipes. Being the master plumber that I am I asked my brother-in-law, who just recently built a shower, to help me out with welding the new piece in place. He used the torch to remove the old fitting and as he went to put the new fitting on the pipe he dropped it in the wall! Rather than knocking another hole in the wall to get the part out he decided to go pick up a new one. By this time it was 8:30 at night on Sunday and Lowes closes at 7:00, which my brother-in-law found out only after he drove a half hour to get there.

Monday night I went ahead and repaired the pipe myself and it works great! It took all of about 5 minutes to weld in place. Now all I have to do is patch the hole in the wall.
