    Qwest PB repiping question

    Thank you hj and fullysprinklered. Fast and cost effective is important but what about longevity? If you were doing this on a 30 year old property that was your own would you use PEX. Do you have any idea how long PEX will last? I guess no one knows for sure. Also I see some people wanting...

    Rusty Delta Kitchen Faucet Repair--Help anyone?

    plumber1 and hj, Thank you, thank you for the responses. I always wondered why some rusted and other did not as much. I thought it might be the water. Plumber's putty; I will check it out. Is it easy to remove for another future replacement in 20 years? Would a person use the putty...
