I have two different vices, both on the smaller end. but they generally get the job done. I got them for free too. Can't beat that. I wouldn't have thought it wasn't tight enough, so thank you sly.
I turned all the 90 degree bends in my house water lines into 45 - small straight - 45 degree bends, really improved the water pressure, lol. I like sweating copper.
I had a bunch of leftover copper from a project years back so I took it over to my parents house and showed my mom how to sweat copper, we built a killer arbor for her climbing rose.
hey that is a great idea..kind of reminds me of when my wife wanted to make a three tier fountain..concrete basins and galvanized pipe...I am guessing your project turned out differently than ours. Yours lacking my Brides input and all.....
Sure, but once you solve the sink problem with step 1, you need to implement step 2 within a day or so. barfo
Harbor Freight has a cool little solar panel water pump, thinking about making one of these fence fountains.
I was on vacation in Santa Barbara last week, staying at fragrance free gourmet vegetarian B&B. And the toilet clogged. I had to call, embarrassed, ask for a plunger, and explain I did not put anything there but what belonged. A woman came with plunger, mop, and bucket, looking cross, and said she did not know why she was sent as she did not know what she was to do. I explained a plumber had shown me the proper way to use a plunger last time the toilet in my house stopped up (I still had to pay him). I had made the mistake of plunging with all my might. He told me the trick is get a good seal and then tap tap tap, like playing drums. Although the woman protested I was the guest and not supposed to do work, I demonstrated. Worked like magic. So now she also knows how to clear a toilet.
