Just a rant, I hate plumbing, I have always hated plumbing. My hatred for plumbing is at a new level today.

I decided to move my water softener to a better location within a closet that I am building while I am finishing my basement. So far I have had 1 pin leak, which I fixed. I also have leaks at the connection to the water softener (copper to plastic). After tightening the living hell out of the connection it appears as though I have stopped the leak. I am also sure I have stripped the threads. To further test it I turned the water on full and received a nice mist to the face from another pin leak. I have not had lunch, I have been to home depot twice and a hardware store 3 times today.

I like to consider myself fairly handy, I have built my office in the basement and am now starting on the rest of the basement. I have NEVER had to call in "a pro" to do a job for me. I feel stupid and ashamed. I have called a plumber.
