One more tip: when you turn the main back on, turn it on full
and then
close it about an 1/4 turn - assmuning it's a compression style
with a
rotary handle. This gives you room to "play" if the main freezes
up
due to corrosion in the future. If you open it all the way
against the
stop, you won't have any "wiggle room" if it gets stuck.

This tip holds true for all compression style shut-offs, but is
not
(typically) a concern for ball valves.

You made it worthwhile booting up my computer today. Thanks for
an excellent tip.
