[UCIMC-Tech] got a wrench? faucet leak in downstairs bathroom

[Mike Lehman]

Stuart,
A wrench won't help it. It has been an issue since we moved in. It used 
to be that we could get it shutoff by using the valve under the sink. 
Then people insisted on hot water and it's gotten worse, so that it 
can't be shut off.

We're going to need a plumber to fix it. I'm afraid that putting a 
wrench on it could lead to breaking it off, which would force the issue 
but be VERY inconvenient, since we might need to shut off water to the 
building until it gets fixed. Best to leave it alone for now.
