Day 10: Oops

Hey remember that time I fixed the leaky bathtub faucet and then didn't test both the hot water and cold water flows? It turns out there is a hot water flow inhibitor built into each cartridge to prevent scalds. And on the model of cartridge I installed, it apparently defaults to zero hot water flow. I discovered this at 2am while getting ready for work. Rather than take the faucet apart again so early in the morning and potentially waking up the rest of the house, I opted for the ice-cold shower. Never again. When I got home from work I immediately rectified that issue.
