Any big-box store will have those plastic nuts. Don't be afraid to go to town on them.

Even Amazon has them.

Right idea, wrong tool.

Loosen the plastic nut with a pair of pliers, not a socket. You can likely use your fingers, once the tension is removed.

There's a bit of gold in the comment above.

anawhite.com is a goldmine.

Hmm...

Within the week, The first floor flooded via the bathroom toilet. Not a toilet's worth of water. All the water from my shower that morning, plus the washing machine tub contents. My opening the washer lid while it was mid-spin broke the washer. Water in three rooms and the basement looked like a rainforest with all of the water dripping from every rafter.

Then cold water pipe to the bathroom tub on the second floor froze, so no shower until that thawed two days later. And the garage door opener committed suicide. Of course the snow blower would not start.

Who knows what will be next.

Hello, from a fellow crappy home owner.

Please.

Slather that flux.

And know that the solder will flow to the flame source.

Full, thanks.

This is just a collection of random products that at surface level, don't blow.
