I can only lean on the insight to make sure you buy good stuff even if its more expensive but also ask for reviews on relevant communities to make sure you have the good stuff and also for advice to best implement and maintain whatever is involved. Stich in time saves nine and all that.
Sorry, this prolly isnt super useful.
Edit: YouTube is excellent for getting to watch how to carry out new or improved processes to do whatever it is you're aiming for or to get ideas on best practices if they have decent credibillity and usually a good proxy for that is their subscriber base
Edit: like I guess in a sense what I'm also getting at is don't necessarily always try to go it alone or reinvent the wheel if you are not experienced and know as a matter of fact any shortcuts or "hacks" that are relevant and don't create unnecessary breaking points or overly exerts on various links in the overall sysytem. Watch the YouTube video for all that: what product(s) to aquire + use, how to do it, rehearse the process before you do anything with finality or that requires delicate detailed manipulations of whatever is at issue.
Thanks. I just wish things were standardized and not proprietary. It would really help if manufacturers didn’t all have their own standards. Also, it’s never labeled. How am I supposed to know if the faucet is a moen or a pfister. They all look alike.
