In some cases you should sweat the small stuff. For example
when sweat soldering pipes. If you don’t (or even if you do) you're likely to
end up back at home depot three times. And if you don't (or even if you do) you're
likely to find a leak that must be revisited.
There is a case though of a pipe that is leaky by design. A
new fangled anti siphon sillcock is one of these pipes. The threaded top cap allows air to
"leak" into the pipe which prevents a seal and consequently any potential
liquid backflow to occur. It’s not a new
idea but it’s a pretty good one.
Furthermore no one should be without a reciprocating saw
when attempting to cut through galvanized pipes. I've got one on loan now but
think it may be time for me to find on to take up permanent residence in my
basement.
Finally, drilling through concrete never seems like it will
be that big of a deal but inevitably it always is.
