thanks guys. it was really easy. sorry to be a dummy

thanks guys. yeah still learning some of this small stuff. now after i replace the cartridge do I need to do anything special to get it to build pressure, or do I simply turn the knob and eventually it will do its thing?

Yeah. Bassically Its a 3 fixture setup. 1 for hot 1 for cold and 1 for the shower activation.

So. . . I should be able to just turnt he hot water shut off on the ater heater which turns off the hot water to the house. Change the cartridge. Flip it back on and be fine?

Again thanks for your help guys.

hmmm would it be possible to simply turn off that valve and then change the cartridge for the bathroom fixture, or if I pulled the cartridge out of the hot water fixture would ti leak cold water.

I looked at a diagram. So is it possible I just turned off the water supply to the water heater?

I am trying to located the main water shut off for the house. I need to replace the catridge and or washer for the shower faucet. I cannot seem to locate the water shut off. I would simply use the shut off for the shower if i could find one.

Its a one level house no basement. I went to the water heater and turned a valve. The hot water that was dripping out of the shower stopped leaking. BUt I still have cold water.

I looked around outside and couldn't seem to find anything.

Just looking for some help from more experienced guys.

also when i turn the valve that makes the hot water go off, if i turn it back on i hear rushing water. Its right on my water heater. would that just be the gas cut off?

What is involved if you want to be an appraiser?
School, apprenticeship, etc?

Are there any appraisers on here? If so what is your day like and is it oyur full time thing besides REI or just a part time job?

Thanks guys, just doing research on possibly profession to compliment REI in the future.

they accepted the price. But it has a contingency. Just in case. I guess it was more of an accepted offer.

I think I may keep looking. While it wouldnt be bad. It might be better to find a better deal that needs a little more work. Complete the work over the couple of years I plan to live there and have my friends live there so I can build up more cash.

I think I am just getting antsy to buy something that I am looking for ways to make it into a deal when I should be making sure it can be as profitable as possible. I will just keep looking and making offers for now.

well ideally I am not planning on flipping it over quickly. its more a place to live for 2-3 years while i finish school. build some equity and have my friends pay for it. then sell the house or use it for something else depending on the situation at the time
