If you know where you suspect there might be a leak, take a bottle with soapy water and spray it on the pipe you suspect is leaking, if in fact it is leaking you'll see bubbles.

There is your answer. Have DW do it.  :)

Haha. Statistically also men are less likely to feel pain during childbirth so the women should have their husbands give birth instead of them

My husband felt enough pain during childbirth that when I got an epidural, he was extremely happy.  When the fetal monitor showed a contraction and I lay there peacefully, he practically danced.  He said he couldn't take the pain any more.

Any ideas on how to get a stripped set screw out of a faucet handle?

Hard to really get a picture is a small hole

Water is leaking out of the handle so I got a new stem unit but I can't get the handle off

Just wanted the pic so we are talking about the same thing. Can you tell what type of set screw it was? Is it an allen head screw? If so you can usually jam a regular or phillips head screw driver in it. When/if that fails an extractor will work.

Yeah it's an allen head

Don't think an extractor will work seems too deep to reach out

The whole is two small for the shaft of the extractor?
I would try regular screwdriver. Tap with a hammer as you turn it.

Screwdriver didn't work

My plumber told me to call Delta faucets and they're sending me a new handle so I can just drill through it

I think it's the best customer service from a large company I've ever had

I have a shower and a toilet right next to each other. At times when the shower is turned on it causes the toilet to gurgle. You can see air bubbles in the toilet. The same thing happens sometimes when the washing machine is being used in the next room over.

I don't know why it only happens sometimes or how piping is supposed to work. Any ideas for what to check or how to prevent it?
