2 months of work

Very nice work but I disagree with your use of copper. Please tell me you didn't use type m red letters. The water nowadays is so radical that copper doesn't last like it used to. I have piped over 300 houses a year for the past 30 years. Only material I would recommend was copper till the quality dropped and the water got more aggressive. Now I will only recommend pex and cpvc unless you're using type l which is twice the cost. But to each there own. One thing noone has said is that you had better have the right transition fittings between the galvanized and the copper. If you didn't use dielectic unions the electrolysis will eat up your copper as it is the softer metal. It will start leaking within 5 years probably. Electrolysis is a sneaky demon that attacks from inside. If you don't believe me google it. Just wanted you to be informed. DD

Hi Pete,
Type M isn't very popular up here. Unless you're a professional, and specifically ask for it for heating purposes. I'm sure that he used Type L, as it is the most commonly stocked pipe, and it is more than ample for our water here.

I personally don't like CPVC, I'm sure that some of that crap leaches into our water. No facts, just speculation. I hate plastic. And I have had brand new crimp rings on Pex break. No lie.

I think that he did a very fine job. For a neophyte.

Good on ya, Resto.
