Good news mixed with WTF!

Alright, I did a few things, then got in and soldered a cap on the cold water inlet.  All good.  It held.  No leaks anywhere.  Then the hot water out (from the water heater perspective) spouted!  WTF!?!  How is that even possible?  I felt like I was doing a "Who's on second"  Routine, by myself, alone!  Well, I cut the cap off then tried once again, just to make sure I had... I don't know... to make sure during my nap someone or something hadn't screwed with my memories.  This time the water did come out of the "correct" plumbing.  WTH!?!  Oh, but it looks like both sides, other than the shark bite, are brazed just fine.  And if I want a fountain in my bath, I think I can do that.  :p

Okay, so now all I have to do is sweat a few pipes over to... well, okay, I think I actually forgot one other thing... things.  I need copper connecters to connect to the water heater.  Check that.  I didn't forget them, the shark bite was supposed to fill that need.  Hmm... I still have one left that is unused.  Should I just try it?  Look, if it doesn't work, I will take both of them in tomorrow and exchange them for fittings.  If it does, I have a flexible connector so I can move the water heater without having to undo everything.  And replacement of the w.h. is so much easier.  Let me review fitting shark bites first.  Maybe I didn't do something correctly.  I know I cleaned the heck out of the copper pipe it was to wed.  I even made sure to go slow in cutting the pipe, so as not to deform it in any way.  Maybe there is a trick to it though?  What's odd?  In the basement, when replacing a copper-type snake bite?  I didn't know to clean the copper pipe first and it fit like a glove with no leaks at all!  Gah!  Beginner's luck or something?

Oh, right, before I forget, I best get laundry started.  At least enough to stop for the night...  A tumble for whatever is in the dryer, then out and the washer emptied and dried itself, and that put into the dryer for a final run.  I don't have cleaning solution, so I may simply make a run to town just for that, and tonight, to get the bathroom cleaned before I go to bed.  Shutting down the laundry cycle, trying the last shark fitting, collecting and removing trash and recycling, then a run to town and finishing with a cleaning of the bathroom.  I don't need another shower, in my opinion.

Tomorrow?  Doing what it takes to get the last water heater in place, then installing the toilet if that is successful (or at least getting those huge boxes into my room at least), then a bit more cleaning... dishes!  Gah!  I don't want my mom to show up to those, but...  And finishing the laundry if I can.  Plus, a bit of a nap early to mid afternoon for a late night rendezvous with the mother of Doom herself.  *grins*

Oh, right, best scat.  Oh, and some food in town.  Hungry.  No, no, this... HUNGRY!  Later.
