11 If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s me (I’m busy)

Backstory: I was replacing my outdoors sillcock since the existing one needed 4 full rotations for full water flow to a 1/4 turn faucet. It’s on the corner of my home so space is very limited to the point I needed to use a metal heat shield to protect the framing and insulation behind it. Typically I use a inspection mirror to see the backside if there isn’t access but I couldn’t find it so I relied on my phone camera to see the backside of the joint to verify enough solder had been applied before I let it cool down and wipe off the flux.

I didn’t realize I was in the photo until I checked the solder flow.

Am I the only one who this makes a bit dizzy?

Does this mean I should pack my tool belt and propane torch? 😉 If it’s big pipe then I’d need mapp gas. I used to have a “Turbo Torch” and with mapp gas I could braze using silflos 5 and bronze braze. When it broke (I really miss that torch) I replaced it with a standard propane torch and I’ve regretted not getting another Turbo every since. Like Tim The Tool man Taylor MORE POWER! Paul

I am already compiling a list of things to do when I can get Paul and his wife out to visit again.

Looking good, a surprise selfie that works well...works as well as you are working...sigh, I wish I had your go-get-em ambition. Traveller
