What they say

We're gonna have to put something in there to seal it up. I also bought some of these faucet washers. One in here. You know what? Just cause, let's put a little tough one on here. All right, get back up in there. You can see there's no drip there now. My neighbor made up some shims while I was working. Drill some holes, screw those in place. We'll see how long it lasts, man. It's a repair. Sometimes it doesn't work. And yes, we got to get into the wall.
