noticed it after we moved in, told the landlord. his response: "i could fix it but i would need to shut off the water for the whole house"

it was a small occasional drip til about 2 months before i fixed it. it turned to a steady stream.

turns out i only needed to turn off the hot water to fix it. stripped screw head complicated things but i was able to make a new notch with my dremel. i did have to buy a shower socket wrench and a new valve.

i shouldn't had waited so long but really he shouldnt had hesitated to fix it.
