Introduce Project and Prepare Water Supply

What happens here

Begin by observing the old shower handle, noting its condition. The first critical step is to locate and turn off the main water supply to the entire house or, if available, the specific shut-off valves for the shower. Once the water supply is confirmed off, open the shower handle to the 'on' position to allow any remaining water in the pipes to drain out through the tub spout, preventing drips and splashes during the handle removal process.
