Stop in for a cup of coffee

Told my old girlfriend I was hot and handy a year ago. Still waiting for her to reply.

Well, I was under the deck of the house for a few hours replacing 5 ft of 1/2 in water line. My bad, the last joint I went to solder was too hot and didn't solder correctly. Had to go to the supply shop and get a few more 1/2-In junctions, got it all done. I did stop in between going for the replacement parts for a few beers. Sorry, but that's just how it is...

Screw that! If you do this sort of work with any regularity, get a ProPress tool. Heck, Amazon has some manual ones you can buy that cost less than $100. Get in, get out, get on with your life.

Edit: Heck! You can rent the damn things now! No need to sweat copper in tight places. Those days are over!

I like to sweat solder myself but after helping my oldest install a water softener, the Pex. He used the A type with the ferrules and expander tool. Really slick.

Well Jim I know you know how to do that and if I have any problems I'll call you first.
Always good to have a friend handy.

almost traded the jeep today for a Chevy… truck.

Thing looked immaculate inside and out. Half the mileage of the jeep and an LS6. But I crawled under the thing, looked behind the plastic wheel liners and found a rust hole on the drivers side that my entire hand went thru. Right next to the spring mount. Nope. My Jeep while annoying is rust free. Rare for a Jeep

Had an old one I got from my Dad and with 6 boys it ended up missing. Great tool for popping out dents in old cars and truck fenders.

That’s the plan!

Always happy to help out a friend, Fred. In fact, I don’t foresee needing to use my manual crimping tool for quite some time, as I think I have all of my plumbing projects completed, so if you ever need to borrow it, I’d be happy to meet you halfway somewhere…..

Not a fan of Pex myself, but that’s just an opinion, and not based on any facts. Give me good old copper lines anytime!

And with that press tool- zip, zap, Done!

Back from watching the cars come off the ferry. Lots of money there. A little tough walking though.

Nothing like soldering overhead in a crawl space and having a drip land on your arm.
Are you using using a real plumbers torch (Prestolite or turbo torch)?

Map Gas....

Ehhhhhh, Well, I'm hard headed and old. I built my my house, and I mean I built my house myself 40 yrs ago. Sweated most of the copper fittings myself then. Maybe I'm just loosing a step or two, and old school. Don't do plumbing for a living...But...But...But...at age 68, I can still do two sets of fifteen regulation pullups . Three times a week.....

If they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Morning everyone

Don’t over do it friend

Thanks Chris. I am trying not to. Takes less and less to over do it. Or, it is knowing what the issue is and subconscious is focusing on it.
