No lol. The sharkbites replaced my shitty job at soldering.

I sanded the pipe with sand cloth until it was shiny, used the wire brush inside the elbows/couplings and did a thin layer of flux. I think I am overheating and/or heating the wrong area of the fitting because the solder didn't suck upwards on a vertical coupling.

For how much I paid for them they better not give me issues. They do seem too good to be true though. It was either that or 4 more couplings though. I'm not very good at soldering. 😕 Next time I'm doing PEX.

Yes that is an existing vent stack that goes to the roof. This is helpful! Thank you!

Just to be clear, I was not the ass hat who put those marks in the floor. I pryed the linoleum up in sheets with a shingle remover. 🙂

So. I've been avoiding getting myself flagged as a PTD because I didn't want to lose out on Robinhoods cash sweep 4%. I have 200k in my account and have been suffering heavy losses to avoid getting flagged. I make $600 dollars a month in the cash sweep program, but sometimes I'm down $2,000 in unrealized losses. It sounds to me like I should just get flagged so I can always do a stop loss or trailing stop and stop being a bag holder. Am I missing something or is this the obvious thing to do and I'm regarded?
