We're in Hot Water!

Just a little note from the Mister:

By far the most insanely frustrating task I have ever attempted as a homeowner is repairing leaking old water pipes and shutoffs. Finally, after a couple of challenging days and many failed attempts at properly sweating a solder joint (I soldered entire sections only to find several leaks and to have to deconstruct the whole thing), I have successfully replaced 3 elbows, 2 Ts, a ball valve with drain, and a copper sleeve to join two butt ends of 3/4" tube. What a relief to have the water working again!

  1. Yay Peter, good for you for taking on the job and seeing it through! We have some major water pipe work to do here too and nobody is looking forward to that.
