I had to have a look to see what achievement that was its a HGTV achievement it is the job: only one half (pink house with separate garage, I fluked this one that's why I remember it, when I knocked down the bathroom wall (behind the kitchen) I broke the pipe on the towel heater and water was going everywhere I panicked and sold it to stop the leak and got that award, still makes me smile.

Iv tried this and it always just makes it disappear. everytime i try any wall with a hose or radiator it just falls and disappears.

FAB47 has it right. You install the towel heater. You have to knock down part of the wall, the towel heater breaks and water is gushing everywhere. You sell the towel heater and get the achievement. It might be that it only works on the HGTV job:only one half (pink house with separate garage).

I got this achievement while doing a job.
Go to your laptop, follow the steps:

- Maps of jobs
-Job: Only one Half (its the semi detached house, pink)
-Pick Greta's choice (knocking down walls)
-Go to the bathroom and knock down the wall where the towel radiator is placed.
PS: The towel radiator will fall, then you must knock it once again for the pipe to break, gushing water everywhere.
- Just sell the installation for the towel radiator and there you go.

Everybody says to sell the radiator to stop the leak, which does work, but hasn't anyone noticed the *water valve* on the wall next to the sink? The popup hint says, "There must be a water valve around here somewhere!"

The first time I did this job, I did what everyone said: I sold the installation; leak stopped. But after doing the job several times, I thought, wait a minute, there's literally a water valve on the wall next to the sink....I haven't seen that anywhere else. I turned it, and the water leak stopped. I think it's what the developers intended.

As for the achievement, I just got it at some point and don't remember exactly how, but the Guides are usually spot-on when it comes to how to get the achievements. That's how I got the Don Quixote one, which I never would've guessed how to do without the Guide.

Yeah, using the valve is what the developers intended how to play the game. So see this as kind of the "old" or "common" method. But as the achievement is called "Modern Solutions", the modern solution would just to sell the installation.

I originally turned off the water so I missed the achievement!
