If it makes you feel better, we started renovating our bathroom in February.

Ripping out old half-wall tile, replacing the floor, new tub, shower walls, then floor-to-ceiling wall tile.

Not a lot of scope creep, just a lot of scope. We're finally finishing it this week...

Had this recently when replacing one of these valves. Despite cleaning it, the pipe had a deformation that stopped the ring from crimping properly, and lead to a slight leak. I didn't have another ring to try again further back, and all the stores were closed.

Guess who now has a compression shutoff soldered onto their toilet supply.
