Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, so far I have figured a few things out and got nothing done. LOL Contrary to what I was thinking earlier, I was smart enough to save the valves from upstairs. They of course are different. :BangHead: I pulled the handles, etc and no corrosion outside, so chance these are good. Just a matter of what the washer screws are like... Now if I could just start working on it. Need to shut off the whole house and drain. Wife has been 'planning to get a shower' and finally got in there a few minutes ago. :BangHead: Not even sure I want to start this today anymore...

Plumbing issues always require a minimum of 3 trips to the hardware store to resolve. The first trip before the project begins, buy what you think are the proper pieces. Trip #2 after initial disassembly, return or attempt to return those pieces from the first trip and replace them with the matching pieces of what you brought to the store as examples. Trip #3 after re-assembly begins, gather the parts to repair the broken fixtures that broke while attempting to tighten them, which all broke at about the 6 lb/ft of torque point :BangHead:
