Nothin scares me like plumbin, when it comes to the pressurized side.
After makin a compression repair, I can't leave the house for 3 days. That doesn't scare me so much... but we use glue. But we follow the bottle... let it sit, and I know the correct steps to prime and glue. What bothers me is my nephew that was on the way to his license before he stupidly came to work for us at the city, says 15-30 minutes on glue good enough, let er rip... Its never bit us... but it scares me so I try to do my own repairs without his help. LOL

A leaking trap under a bathroom sink - fixed from inventory. I replaced the trap, tail piece, and all the nuts and ferrules. No trip to Home Depot, the stickers came off in one piece, and I didn't cut myself.
Is this heaven? I sure as Hell hope heaven does not have plumbing repairs on the agenda... That would be a sign of hell not heaven

That would be just my luck, I wish that hadn’t been brought up. I used to work in 30-40 story buildings in the winter, no walls, wind blowing through 40 miles an hour. Damn it was cold. That is what Hell would be to me.

It’s nice when you can repair something around the house without a trip to HD. I keep 2 five gallon buckets in my basement. One filled with spare plumbing parts (fittings, lines, torch, solder, flux, spare ball valves, elbows, etc.,etc.) and the other filled with spare electrical stuff for the house (spare circuit breakers, outlets, wall switches, plates, wire nuts, meter, etc, etc). It’s easy to grab one of the buckets and head anywhere in the house. -TomT
