"Dad the toilet is clogged and I can't get it to flush." @0500!
Plunger hasn't gotten it yet, time to improvise, or go get a toilet snake. The hits keep on coming.
Morning?

"Glued" a piece of 1X to the bottom of the counter so I could attach the dishwasher brackets to it. It's not falling over now. I've had enough drama for today so I'm not going to check all my hose connections by running it until tomorrow.

Clean the copper well, use plenty of flux and apply the heat to where you want the solder to go.
Watch the mapp (love that stuff) - you don't need much & it gets hot quick!

Have some drips from the air gap because someone put the gasket on the wrong side of the countertop.
All the hoses seem leak free.

heat the fitting.
propane has been good for me, always seem to have it around.
takes a bit longer but was less likely to burn down a customers house
used a sharkbite on the last connection in my master bath shower renovation.

I'll be getting a couple bottles of mapp gas when I start body leading the old ford.

I cut my leg a couple of days ago so I sat on the side of the tub to wash the cut and part of the shower curtain was under my ass when I shifted my weight the shower rod came down on my fucking head and almost knocked me out!
