Nice job!

I have a slop sink in my garage I've been meaning to re-pack. Just never seem to find the time to go get parts and tear into it. Always something more pressing to do in FIRE.

Just did the same on an outdoors frost-free leaking faucet. Cost $.49 + tax :)

So cool. You may have saved me mucho $$. I'm going to see if this will fix the problem I've been having.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
