A Little Help From An Expert Can Go A Long Way
The other day a friend calls and says that his water line is leaking. He was calling to see if I would help him replace it since I have a previous history of doing handyman work around the house. Naturally I said sure and went out and picked up some 3/4 inch copper and took it to his house. Everything was going fine, found the leak, cut out the bad piece, turned off the main water, dried out the line and then proceeded to put in the new piece. Unfortunately it didn’t go so well, the solder just ran straight down not going into the joint. After many tries and new splices of frustration I finally called my other friend, the expert, who has a bit more experience in the field. Come to find out that I had soldering paste that had gone bad. Went out to the hardware store bought some new soldering paste and the job was done in 10 minutes.
