When I have to go and buy a washer or an elbow, I always get two. But
the washers are accumulating and I never seem to have the right one
when something goes out.


I bought big bags of each size of washer and nuts several years ago. It
was worth it to have the right size handy. It's not like they spoil or
anything...

I also bought a selection of CPVC caps and couplings (90% of the supply
lines in the house are CPVC), but they haven't come in handy yet
(thankfully.)

What we really need is some sort of backup for the well pump. No power,
no water. (A tornado was way too close. The storm blew off a downspout
support, but half a mile away it knocked out several walls and a roof.)
