Earlier in the week I ran hot and cold soft water lines to my garage so I could wash my vehicles. I soldered most of it together on the floor and only had to solder two joints in place. I hate trying to solder to old, dripping pipes and I'm not averse to using Sharkbite fittings. They are expensive but they save a LOT of time if you need to solder a dripping pipe. After this job I was done trying to do plumbing for a while. I hate plumbing.
