Helping a neighbor move. Wow, what a weekend.

OK, I'm taking a break. I've been at it since my last post. about two and a half
hours ago. I've still not got the old faucett out. My wife is doing the pipe
wrench bit topside while I'm trying to hold the big nut in place underneath. I
sprayed it with PB Blaster. We'll see if that works.
I hate plumbing.
I don't like fooling around under the sink, but sweating the big stuff can be
fun and I am real good at it.
When I redid my house I used a lot of PEX (R) Pipe and "Sharkbite" fittings. I
switched to copper at the various fixtures, toilet, sinks, dishwasher as I like
having solid pipes to hold petcocks in place. Nice stuff to work with, the
Sharkbites make it a breeze. No wrenches, no sweating pipes, no goo, no
problem. Just get the dedicated cutters to leave a proper end and you are set
to roll...
