    Should I replace 45 year old, 1/2" copper under slab?

    People have had to run new pex lines under mobile homes many times all over the country and they normally install a heat cable to the lines and then insulate over them..... as long as it is plugged into power their never seems to be an issue.... and it would be the same affect if you ran...

    Thanks for the information... you got a good thing going for yourself because you are in NYC.. I got a call one time wanting me to go to some trial and be a expert witness because some nut was attempting 'to sue the person they bought a home from... It was all a bunch of frivolous...

    Should I replace 45 year old, 1/2" copper under slab?

    It could probably all be run overhead and be done in a day... maybe you might dull a couple of drill bits but putting up the trim to hide the work where it needs to be hidden is a fairly simple thing to do... might take another day ..... Now jackhammering and digging a trench through the home...

    Should I replace 45 year old, 1/2" copper under slab?

    I think that you misunderstand me.... I am talking about running the lines inside the home right along the corners of the ceiling in full view ,,,, then you just have to hide the pipes with a large trim board like crown moulding or use pine board to box it in or build a bulkhead runner...

    Should I replace 45 year old, 1/2" copper under slab?

    My home was built in 66 and it has a lot of lines under the slab and I dont have any hankering to tempt fate or poke the bear .... I will wait and then when the day comes I will run everything overhead as best possible instead of destroying everything in the concrete we normally have found it...

    Whirlpool Flame Lock water heaters, reviews, troubleshooting, repair and support.

    You would be wiser to get a rheem gas heater and change it out yourself than to fool with attempting to get parts for it

    Delta 600 series tub shower leak

    you might want to pull the ball and washers out of the faucet and then turn on the water to the home for about 10-15 seconds or more.... Close the curtain to the shower room and let it blast out to see if you blow some debris out of the faucet.... of course if you have ball valves...

    Delta 600 series tub shower leak

    I agree with grey because that is a very old faucet... You had to cut that cam nut off the faucet and you might have went too deep into the threads The parts are available and in all honestly it all might not leak once the new cartridge is installed If you have access I suggest you change...

    You are simply driving yourself crazy...... get out your protractor and slide ruler and try to figure out how gravity works knock yourself out.....and see where it lands you.... So you got screwed by a water softening company, GET OVER IT and move on if this is the worst investment you have...

    At my wits end - sad garbage water in TN!!!

    Its not a worry at all because it is up to them to keep you happy if you are renting it I would just ask for a 48,000 grain unit for a rental....the larger the better Just be sure to let them test everything with the water quality so they are sure it will be adequate and all go well and...

    At my wits end - sad garbage water in TN!!!

    I am sorry to say that The spots on all your glasses are just the signs of a shitty water softener.... The best advice I can give you at this point is to just go at this from another angle.... take out the water softener you presently have and store it away for a while and do this little...
