Pipe Dreams II- The reality

Well, Aaron never got the valve under the sink to completely stop leaking on Saturday night. It had something to do with the POs dubious use of a compression fitting on an elbow (I took a picture, but haven't had time to upload it). He put a bucket under the leak and we both showered, etc. then he turned the water back off again. He pulled everything back apart on Sunday and resoldered it, after that, no more leaks there. We had two more leaks in the laundry area, but got everything plumbed up by 2 pm on Sunday. Aaron said "Well, I probably sweated something like 50 joints, and only 5 of them leaked. Considering my experience level, that's pretty damn good." I have to agree, even though it meant that Aaron's birthday totally sucked. Stay tuned for a few exciting developments this week, including "How crooked is that basement floor?", "Shiny, Happy Toilet" and "FINALLY! We've sealed the deal with a ceiling decision!"
