One pipe wrench is useless, they work in pairs.

When using threaded pipe, use pipe dope, teflon tape, and another layer of pipe dope on the threads if you don't want to have to fix leaks later on.

the fuck is pipe dope?

I'd guess its an anaerobic chemical sealant...
:-P

When you need a shut off valve, go for a quality quarter turn ball valve. Spend a couple extra pesos, it will be worth it in the long run.
You will learn your lesson on this one somewhere between right now and 15 years from now.

I know what teflon tape is. We call it plumbers tape sometimes. But pipe dope? We just call that shit "pipe joining compound."


Also, I'm with twisterooney on the ball valves.

When you are messing with your wiring, light switches and outlets and stuff, if you don't shut off the power at the breaker, wear a good pair of leather gloves, they'll probably save you a shock if you fuck up.
But to be safe turn off the power, I'm just lazy and like the thrill.

Always keep one of those wax bowl rings in the house. If your shitter/pipe has a really bad log jam you can have the toilet off the floor and get down to business in minutes, really simple job. But when you go to seat it back on the drain pipe you are fucked without one of these. Always keep one on hand. You never know, Sunday night at 11:30 pm is a bad time to have to pull a shitter up and clean house, but it's even worse if you can't put it back down.

Whaaat?! You can lift shitters up!?

When did this start happening?

All the shitbowls I've ever sat on was cemented to the floor.

If you have a log jam, you just jam your foot right down there and mash the fucker up. Also, eat propper so you don;t shit pieces of bark that clog the toilet.

That means, not McDonalds, no Berger Keeng, no pizza hut ,etc.
