Operation: Fix Master Bathroom has officially begun. (A year and a half after moving in. Sorry, sweet wife.) The plumbing needed to be moved from the right side of the wall to something more centerish to make room for the nice vanity we got for this space. This meant using a torch and soldering copper pipe, which was way easier than I thought, until one section had a pinhole leak.
After a couple burns and an unintentional steam bath, quickly learned that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a DIY plumber to put solder on a copper pipe with that has water in it. Had to cut that section back off, but there was still residual water in the original section of pipe. The solution? Shove a chunk of bread way back in that section of pipe just before you solder on the new section. The bread plugs the water long enough to get the pipe dry and attach the new section, then dissolves once you turn the water back on. Thank you, Internet.
