WARNING -- GRAPHIC CONTENT -- MAY CAUSE TUMMY UPSET
This is what happens when one is stupid enough to attempt a plumbing repair from underneath a floor joist, when the pipe on which one is working, is directly over one's hand. You know, the hand which is holding on to the propane torch. And one must continue to hold on to the propane torch even when a piece of very hot solder has dropped from the pipe onto the finger and is burning a hole it. One is not allowed to yelp! and then drop the torch, because that would be a bad thing. Neither is one allowed to yelp! and rotate the torch in order to immediately extricate the solder from one's hand.
No, one is supposed to carefully place the propane torch on the floor before attempting any removal of said solder. Which, by that time, has burned some serious skin.
Ouch!
The worst part is, the stupid pipe is still leaking. Just a pin-hole, but that's enough to keep me from declaring victory just yet.
