I don't think your being Neurotic, what you ask is a very good question.... things can get expensive fast if something happens.

And hey sometimes even when you do it right, things still happen....
You know those little sprayer with Kitchen sinks.... never thought or had a problem for 20 years with them.... But lately the sprayer keeps getting s split, because of a drop or two of residual water... .... this year I will just take the stupid thing apart.....
