Anybody know anything about plumbing?

Glad to hear it worked out! I always hesitate to open plumbing issues- they always seem to snowball!

Yup, glad you got it done! Good for you!

I'm in the midst of my own plumbing right now. Renovating the kitchen, new counter tops, backsplash (real polished marbel), sink, faucet, dishwasher, range, and floors (vinyl wood planking).

Of course when you open old plumbing, you open a can of worms. The shut-off valves were rusted and frozen, so I had to pull them off and replace them, and the pipes leading to them were badly corroded, so those had to be replaced. The valve for the dishwasher leaked as well and needed to be replaced. It was a fun day!

Tomorrow is electrical work including recessed lighting, and extra circuts so I can run my microwave and toaster at the same time.

It's been exausting work, but I'm excited to see it all don.........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZ
