Welcome aboard Tim..
It sounds like you have been on the DIY boat for a while.
I don't like doing plumbing, but the alternative is what motivates me to keep trying.
I've had 'expert' plumbers really drop the ball and what they charged me (high priced),
was nothing compared to the cost of hiring a welder to come in and repair my
poorly installed boiler.

So, my hats off to you for your 'no leaks' record. May it always stand!

About 20 minutes ago, my wife yelled from the kitchen, 'You've got water in here'!
I was in a panic! Was it the new food disposal, or the new sink faucets??
For an old guy, I got into the kitchen pretty fast. Where's the water??
She pointed and said, "it's in the microwave"!
I was dumbfounded for a couple of seconds, wondering HOW this could have happened!
Then, I realized she was referring to coffee cup of water I had just warmed up in the micro!!
It was done.. It was starting to cool off.. LOL!!
She was yelling because I've recently had a sudden-hearing-loss problem..

It sinks getting old!

Cheers,
Rich
