Should I be worried?
My wife is my best friend. 30 years married and we still flirt constantly and have fun together. Sex life is ok for still having kids in the home and when it does happen is very good. In the past year or so we started trying some new things and her body has reacted nicely, she went from having moisture issues for most of our marriage to dripping wet. Not to get too graphic but she has now started to do something requiring the sheets to be washed the next day. A couple of months ago she said she made an appointment, she said the hot flashes are becoming unbearable and she’s having trouble sleeping. She’s at a women’s care center right now for her appointment. I want everything good for her but I’ve heard on this sub things that worry me. Can anyone on this sub share stories of what happened to them when the starting point was a good and loving marriage?
Pressure reducing valve in tight spot
Yesterday I went downstairs and heard a curious drip drip drip. My pressure reducing valve had sprung a leak but fortunately replacing it was already on my todo list so the ceiling tile was already pulled away and a new valve was on my workbench. What should have been a quick fix turned into an all day event. Long story short I broke the new valve trying to get it and the pex into place. There is a very small area between the pipe coming from the house shutoff and the first branch going to an outside water hose connection. There is little to no flex and I barely was able to get the temp fix in. How would you go about getting a new valve in this tight area? I prefer shark bite and pex b as I cannot sweat a pipe. To save my life.
