  • I had a contractor replace an older faucet a few years ago. He opened up the wall and found older, very brittle plastic pipes, I don’t remember what exactly but they are not modern PVC. He was able to replace the faucet and fix the leak that precipitated the visit, but was emphatic that further leaks and issues were likely.

    With an older fixture like that, after learning this, I wouldn’t touch it.

    My home was built in the late 90’s.

    Not quite, but it’s very similar. I have an old friend that lived for a couple decades in a VERY progressive, urban area, recently moved closer to me in a smaller town, so I went to see him and, while we are definitely still friends, there were some very dangerous conversation topics covered (carbon climate, EVs which are easy to get me going on). It’s like a conservative brain worm infected him sometime in the past few months, very strange.
