The shower works fine, but I do not think the plastic side wall would be able to take a fall for example.

While doing the pre purchase walk some plastic cartridges were found in the cabinets.

The old switch plates etc were in a plastic bag in the garage along with our new faucets that she had replaced.

Depending on the size of the roof I'll either use a bubbler, which is a little plastic cap that rises when the water comes out and seals shut when it's done, or I'll put it in an actual drain bucket with a removable clean-out grid on top - this type is more useful if there's a lot of trees and debris that gets washed out of the roof and gutters.PS: If I "hired" someone to do that job and that's what he gave me I wouldn't pay for it.

My good friend got a chunk of her face bit off, by a pit bull--  it was her friend's dog (both college educated paralegals who love animals), her friend adored and cherished that dog... my friend had to have plastic surgery and couldn't even go in the sun for 6 months!   

You definitely need to remove that and any rubber or plastic components while soldering anywhere near the valve.  

You can save money by installing all plastic shower pans and plastic walls, but being a plumbing contractor we encounter cracked shower pans almost every day and we encounter the drains leaking in plastic shower pans because when people stand on shower pans the plastic flexes and the drain strainers loosen causing significant damage.

SORRY advance warning gross discussion but this is the fix: two 5 gallon plastic buckets fill 15% with water buy a "plank" online and put peanut butter on the end.

I had my concrete guys bring over 3 bails of hay that we needed for erosion control instead of paying them to spread it I did it myself  :)  and instead of paying someone to pick up the trash the subs leave at our projects I grabbed the big plastic bags and walk around and pick it up myself.. that saves me the high dollar laborer and I get to look at every corner of the new build or lots we are working on.. 

It was a 2800 square foot medical condo unit, in a great part of town, rented out to a plastic surgeon.
