  • What are you gonna do? Force me to experience 20 years of imprisonment and watching my best friend die and put in so deeply in my brain that the memories can't be erased by any known medical technology, then tell me to get back to work in my menial starfleet job with an insufferable wife and child who will probably never understand my pain and will grow increasingly distant? Haha that would be incredibly fucked up, wouldn't it.

  • Real talk OP: From your post and comments it's pretty clear that you don't have much plumbing experience. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with replacing a shower valve.

    If this is your main bath, this is not the job to learn on. Especially if you don't have any shutoff valves between your main and the shower. If you run into something unexpected during the repair, and you'd be stuck with all your water shut off while you wait for a plumber, and then you're also paying emergency rates.

    As it is now, you have all the time in the world to consult plumbers and compare estimates. With your water shut off and your shower broken, your options will shrink really fast.

    If getting into home improvement is something you're interested in, and this is a spare bathroom you can afford to be out of commission for an indefinite period, and it won't require your main valve to be shut off, then by all means give it a try. But expect there to be surprises and fuckups as part of the learning process.
