First owners of a new house? Isn't it still under warranty?
No warranty. We bought it as a short sale b/c the builder went bankrupt. We got a fantastic deal on it, but are gradually finding things that he didn't get to when construction was suddenly halted (i.e. no hole was cut for the dryer vent - we had to get that done on our own).
I'll look around for other access panels. He had another house with the same plans 2 doors down that is less "finished" than ours. If I can get in to the house, I can look at that master bath and see where the shut offs are. However, in our previous houses, you had to turn off the master water supply to work on the bathtubs. Actually, I've never lived in a house where we had access to the tub/shower individual hot/cold shut-offs. You always had to turn off the master water valve to work on them.
