Well, I have just completed my first job, installing soldered shutoffs in
two water lines lines so that I can renovate my powder room. I had no
leaks when I turned the water back on. My question is this, if it is
holding now, how confident could I feel about the job?


I soldered 91 joints when I renovated my bathroom three years ago and
it was my first time to do it. None leaked initially or since then.
I was meticulous about cleaning the pipe and fittings before I
soldered. Think you'll be ok if you are careful.
