Holy cow! How depressing! :(

I took off work early to go to "the plumbing store that's not open on weekends"...who's supposed to have everything..and from the SECOND I walked in...I went over Niagra Falls without even as much as a pickle barrell! 8O

It went like this:

Can I help you?
Yes! I brought these pics. I need to rebuild this diverter assembly.
Ohhhhhhhh.....that's not good. Not good at all. (Head shakin')
'Scuse me?
Wow...Hmmmmm.... (obviously, I wasn't the quick sale)
It's a diverter valve. Not a nuclear reactor.

He checks with another guy.....if they can find something, it's in a binder the thickness of Fastdocs college books.
He starts flipping pages. Completely uninterested....just burning clock.

Nope....hmmmm. Nope. You'll have to bring it in.
Not an option. She lives 2 hours out in the middle of no where.
How about if I cap it of and put on a diverter nozzle into the tub?
Nope....wouldn't do that. Don't try it. It can't be done. Wow....this is at least....4-6 weeks out on special order.
YOU CAN'T EVEN FIND IT! HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S 4-6 WEEKS OUT!? :x
Just is....we need to see it.
That makes no sense. Are you telling me that I may have to replace the enire valve assembly over a few o-rings or something stupid? :roll:
Most likely.
Not gonna happen. I'll just inform her that she's going to have to shower in a pee dribble for the rest of her natural born life. Thanks for all yer help.
:evil: :evil: :evil:

I gotta tell ya........ :roll:
