I *hate* Plumbing!

Casa Coats is getting closer to move-in after our fire last year. Today, I was in the kitchen, working on connecting the natural gas supply line to the cooktop. I don't have a great history with most homeowner plumbing jobs, this one seemed mostly easy. Had to cut a bit of cabinet away to get clearance for the pipe, fit the regulator and connect the flexible line to the valve. I was almost done tightening a fitting into the regulator and slipped, snapping off the corner of the (pot metal?) regulator.

So yeah, another plumbing project that got sideways. I can butcher wood and keep smoke from leaking out of electrical stuff, but plumbing?

After today, I'm so tempted to sell off all my plumbing tools and pay a professional in the future.
