Fix-It Frank

Elaborating on my earlier post, here's what a couple racc***s did to a roof at a different property. What you can't see: the hole they created that gave them entry into one corner of an upstairs bedroom.

What did you do on Memorial Day? I fixed a leaking solder joint in a 1/2" cold water line. The problem developed in the basement of a rental house where the tenant was in the process of (slowly) moving in, and I wanted the project out of my inbox badly enough to head there on a holiday. I figured it wouldn't take more than two hours anyway, maybe three.

Silly me, I should never make such assumptions about anything plumbing-related. I ended up needing some things from the hardware store, and while I was there a torrential rainstorm broke out. It somewhat inhibited the completion of the job, and also revealed another problem with that property. In the end I accomplished what I came there to do, though I cheated by using Sharkbite compression fittings.
