Problems

1. Broken diagnostic table (lines 84-86)
The drip-location table has a truncated cell $ with no amount. It's also missing rows for other common drip locations that the article text discusses (O-ring at spout base, washer on compression faucets, valve seat).

2. Step 9 cuts off mid-sentence (line 149)
The reassembly instruction ends with "then add exactly 1" — no unit, no torque spec.

Impact

  • Readers see a malformed table
  • Incomplete reassembly instruction

Suggested fix

Complete the table with all 4 common drip types. Finish step 9.

Fixed in commit 09aa10f:

  1. Table (lines 84-89): replaced single broken row with 4 complete rows covering single-handle cartridge, two-handle compression seat washer, spout O-ring, and supply line/valve seat — all with realistic 2026 price ranges.

  2. Step 9 (line 152): completed the truncated torque instruction — "one quarter-turn past hand-tight" with overtightening warning.
