So I had to get the bottom of the pipe leak problem; I had to figure out where it was leaking. So I did what I had to do; I had to undo all the "fixes" I did, then unscrew the rubber hose part that Father put it in to see what was wrong.
There are now, if I am correct (and I might not be) three pinhole leaks on this piece of pipe. I tried redoing Father's work, but when I turned the main valve back on, it apparently got worse. Water was strewing everywhere. And it didn't stop over night; there was a scary trickle I saw when I woke up this morning. And since I am super-anxious about this problem now, I woke up a bit before 6 to check it out (got about four hours of sleep) because I was afraid something happened. And something happened, sort of.
I finally got water out of the entire pipe, but I realized you really need to do what they say and open up everything and then wait a couple minutes, even if there is no water trickling out of the shower or the faucet. Finally, I undid everything I tried to do, heard the gurgling dying of the pipe, and dried everything out.
The next step? Uh, either call Uncle over or go to a hardware store and find something stronger. In the meantime, I working on anxiety-induced adrenaline, cleansing wetnaps, and literally holding my piss in so I don't have standing urine in my toilets.
