.... no , I'm not describing me ..... well , not only me
The shut off valve for the outside faucet is over my head , above the ceiling and accessed by a hole that I cut in the ceiling that is 2 ft by 1ft.
Up there , are pipes that no longer connect to anything , natural gas lines and Bell telephone
On You Tube , there was ' Sharkbite ' , solderless connectors
well ,we did it this morning. 2 cuts and some water on the floor to remove the existing copper pipe and valves
1 cut where a left over bracket sliced my finger
little cursing............ but the pipe and connections snapped in
No leaks
We will celebrate
Job done , cost was 35 dollars but 1 valve and 4 ft of pipe are extra
The valve can go back
Weather : indeterminate grey and dreary w/ a little sun , and threat of rain Temperature , around 45 F
