The Project: Fix leak in bathtub; most likely a worn out washer in the hot water valve.The Unexpected Setback: Getting the *!#$ing hot water handle off of the valve stem. The thing was frozen on there; after a half hour of spraying it with silicone lubricant and WD-40, tapping it, and swearing, it finally came off.
The Critical Failure: I did not have the right tools to reach far enough into the wall to remove the valve.
Outcome: I think I have the proper tools now, but will have to reschedule turning the water off for my section of the condo building (8 units).
