the whole "righty tighty, lefty loosey" thing.

That works............except for the "dimmer" on the dash lights....you have to "lefty" that to make the lights brighter!
Well, it is a "dimmer" control, not a "brighter" control Being an electronics technician, I've become used to "clockwise" increases the function, Counterclockwise, decreases it. A water shut-off valve is turned clockwise to "shut off" the water

There were about 15 pipe, or fitting ruptures. The "owner" bailed out, and had the power and gas shut off. Let's see, water not running, no heat, single digit temps above, and below zero....... pipes won't freeze...........................much!
It is zero dark thirty, "today" is going to be another long day.
