In the Trades
Okay, Multi part story here. But I'll give you the gist of it. I am helping my brother replumb his house. We are using copper because we like it better than pex and the labor is free... The supply is designed around a 3/4 hot water loop. I can either locate it so the trunk runs through the attic (So Cal house) or bore through the second floor joists and locate it there. The through the attic route is easier, the through the joists is more labor but not bad since the house is open and would result in a shorter loop. We have discussed the pros and cons of both. What we are really want is opinions to help end a brotherly quarrel. Remember that we are more concerned with quality rather than speed or cost.
