Okay DIY, I’ve been delaying this for awhile because it hasn’t been urgent. Still isn’t urgent but I’m tired of procrastinating and am ready to tackle this now. I have a split level home built in 2006 and am the second owner. First owner finished the lower level themselves sometime before I purchased it and it looked as if it was done pretty well. No corners were cut as far as I could tell. They added a third bathroom on the lower level and the shower pipes are directly behind my furnace.At some point since moving in those pipes have become loose. It’s difficult to see what’s going on exactly since the pipes are right behind the furnace but from what I can tell they used a copper cross bar between the studs and soldered the pipes to it and now they have broke free. The faucet and the handle move back and forth through the wall.If this was a situation where I had free access to the back side or even dry wall that I could cut/patch or add an access panel I would have fixed it a long time ago. I know what needs to be done but I don’t know the best way to access it. I’m debating calling in a professional but I’d rather save money and handle it myself.So is this something I can possibly fix through the shower side? I don’t think so but I’m looking for ideas. I’d rather not disconnect the furnace and move it to access these pipes but that may be the only way to do it right and that seems like it will be an expensive pita to deal with. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2q2gpXG
