When it comes to fixing things around the house I give my younger a thumbs up. You have done so great in fixing the broken places yourself and I'm sure you have a stronger confidence now that you can do it yourself with what you have done possibly the shower won't waste water.
I'm usually quote confident with the DIY things I do, this is not the first time I've used silicone, nor will it be the last. I believe a man should know certain things, be able to do thing for himself and so I've learned over the years.
Yes, I have learned to do alot of things myself too . Man really should learn how fix minor stuffs it encourages creativity even in our kids as they watch us do they.
