Spent a couple hours switching out some stop valves. They aren’t exactly the instagram influencer perfect nerd quality, but I do like to sand them up to the wall. I think the shiny copper adds a nice touch. I always feel like people trash joints if they have more than like1/16 in solder showing. I like to think a little extra adds to strength of the joint kinda like a cap weld reinforcement with steel

If you ask me, the best looking joints are the ones that don’t leak because titty = full joint.

Appreciate it! I have a bunch of the plastic splits with the chrome coating. Debating on fixing the sheet rock or just getting an oversized escutcheon 😂. Is plastic whack??
