coming

In genre studies, a coming-of-age story is a genre of literature, theatre, film, and video that focuses on the growth of a protagonist from childhood to adulthood, or "coming of age". Coming-of-age stories tend to emphasize dialogue or internal monologue over action, and are often set in the past. The subjects of coming-of-age stories are typically teenagers. The Bildungsroman is a specific subgenre of coming-of-age story.
The plot points of coming of age stories are usually emotional changes within the character(s) in question.

    Why do I hear a hammer related noise coming from my water pipes?

    This issue arose about a year ago. Does anyone have an idea why I occasionally hear (about once every hour or longer) a hammer related noise coming from my copper water pipes when no water is being used? It basically sounds like the noise you hear after the water shuts off when your toilet bowl...

    Issue with joint coming apart

    We have a shower drain which has a slip joint nut. The pipe keeps coming detached, leaving the nut and washer in place/attached, as you can see in the photo (towards the top). Would PFTE tape help with this? I presume not, as the nut itself is still attached.. Thanks!

    How long should I have my hot water coming on a day?

    I guess it all depends on the number of people living in a property and whether you have a shower everyday etc. But what's the recommended time I should have my hot water coming on a day. My local plumber stated an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening - seems excessive to me. Any thoughts?
