  1. He made this look easy. This would take the average homeowner 2-3 days, lots of broken tile/ leaks/ destroyed parts/ screws down the drain. Hire a plumber its worth it!

  2. They should have replaced the shower arm, shower arm flange, and shower head too!!!! The valve handle and tub spout look nice and beautiful, but the shower head assembly now looks old and cheap!!!! And replacing that is not that expensive and is very easy.
    You have a nice looking tub spout and valve, but an ugly shower head assembly. But otherwise great video, and always neat to see how old valve assemblies are upgraded. 🙂
