The scene of crime, just before making the last joint for our hot water supply leak-bypassing project.

Putting together CPVC assemblies is like a 3D puzzle, where you have to plan moves in advance to make sure you have space to rotate each joint into place.

Cutting the pipes to size and gluing this sort of joint (i.e., connecting two assemblies) is the sort of thing I find a bit nerve-wracking, because it demands precision both in terms of length and direction.

@amenonsen and was the gluesome act successful

@ramkay Well, let's say it was completed. We haven't turned the water back on yet.

Meanwhile, I imagine that when I do, every one of the nineteen new joints will spectacularly fail with a shower of water.

😬

@amenonsen haha

If you videograph it it would either be spectacular video or a suspenseful one.

@ramkay I am pleased to report that nothing spectacular happened when we turned the water back on.
