Wise One
The other day, Terry advised a DIY-er as follows:
"Since you are not a plumber, do not solder anything close to that wall. Use a compression fitting."
I was thinking of that advice while watching this gigantic fire across the river in Edgewater last night, apparently (but not certainly) started by some alleged plumbers working in a first-floor unit:
Took down the whole fully-occupied 400+ unit complex. A good argument for requiring sprinklers in non-"fireproof" multifamily residential construction...
And for not soldering too close to the wall...
