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!
