Is there a plumber in the house? (Stuck stopcock valve)

Worth a try to loosen the stem packing nut a bit and work the stem back and forth.

Success! (the first thing that's gone right on this plumbing project)

Thanks square1, and all.

Only problem with that is, it involves doing plumbing work. Have I mentioned how much I really hate plumbing?

I know, I know, hire a plumber. No, I say, NEVER!! I refuse. I'm doing it myself!

Yes, it does. I've made a lot of money in the plumbing and HVAC business .
Can't really figure out why people want to call a Plumber, but I'm sure glad there are those type people that exist .. LOL
