Learn where all the shut off valves for your waterlines are at your house or apartment. When you have a leak is not the time to find out or rather figure out where your shut off valves are at. if you don’t know where your shut off valves are at, what could’ve been a minor water mess could turn into a major bill.

Yep! I once tugged the hose too hard and broke the pipe it was attached to and WAM! Water gushing up like a fountain. But luckily I knew where the 'key' (what's the T thing called?) and got to the shut off valve in less than a minute.

Imagine not knowing where it is and feeling so helpless as you watch that water drain your bank :(

LOL, the 'key' is literally called a "water key". Good job!

(Pliers, of most sorts, work as well, but they're a PITA vs. an actual tool for the job.)
