I would imagine we're pretty much identical, CAN/US wise. I just don't particularly know fuck all about power, so chalk it up to my ignorance. In any case, you aren't doing a steam generator with 120.
On small diameter stuff, 1/2"-1", you should pretty much never have a leak unless it's an existing system that you couldn't quite get some water out of or something. In any case, the secret to avoiding leaks is proper cleaning and fluxing. On small diameter stuff you shouldn't even need to move the solder around the pipe and fitting; if everything's properly cleaned and fluxed the solder should get drawn around the entire joint without much problem.lurkingdirk_sl said:
I managed to apply the plumber's putty yesterday and it did the trick. It would have been a ton easier of one of the screws holding up the gasket wasn't locked in place. Eventually I had to get a pair of clamps out and unscrew it the hard way. But it seems to have fixed the issue.

I just had to redo one side of my sink with plumber's putty too. Felt like the goddamn super hero
To point out how un-handy I am after I put the putty under the sink and stopped the leak we've had for like 6 months my wife started calling me "Mr Fixer" and then wanted to fuck. All because I basically played with some Play-Doh after cursing at a screw for an hour.

Wife wants to paint crown molding white how would this look? It's also so damn expensive, every quote is 12k plus. I'd do it myself but I'm sure I'd only do more damage than anything. Also could use some suggestions on what to do around the porch?

Well your two options are: 1) hire a professional to do it at insane prices because it's detail work 2) break out your michaelangelo and get started painting upside-down.
RE: porch, well probably a railing... but to make it look good I'd do stamped concrete overlay. I think they run between $2-$4/ sq foot

Overlay meaning just top layer? We just had it poured couple months ago and might stamp it next year. For the outside area though, I'm with you on the rail but what would you suggest where the dirt is? Shrubs, azaleas, bark?

Don't you have to stamp the concrete while it's still somewhat wet/unset? I didn't think that was something you could do to a finished, hardened concrete slab
