    Improvising Positive Shower Shut-off

    Perhaps, but I can't bet on it. The current shower was replaced by the guy who rented this place before me 10 years ago. He wasn't a plumber by any stretch, although that gives me the idea to call him up and see if he remembers anything about hose clamps. I doubt he replaced the valves, only...
