Last august, I went to rebuild a pair of John Deere cylinders, found out you had to have the special tool to get them apart. Seal kit was 50 bucks and change. But I couldn’t get the Ram to come out without this special punch. Couldn’t find it anywhere and of course Deere is sold out. So I take it to their service shop, it takes like 10 minutes for them to take them apart, hand me the pieces back, I took them home and put them back together. They billed our account. 634 bucks... a PIECE. New ones were 675 bucks each..... I was pissed. Called in there and they’re like “we have to charge as if we did the whole job”.

Nothing gets done unless you do it....

I have a tiny little drip coming from somewhere I gotta track down yet. A drop every 30 minutes or so. Seems to be coming from one of the new Ts I put it, but it’s glued and tight. Wonder if there’s a hairline crack in the old pipe it connects too.
 
If it still leaking in the morning, I’ll re do it all
 
@Mopar Tim looksblike I got a bad fitting, I took the store barcode sticker off the bottom and that’s where it’s leaking, right where the mold line is on the T. I shut the water off and will fix it in the am

They do crack

Yeah, i hate CPVC. It’s brittle, fragile and seems to crack and break easier than schedule 40 pvc. I’ve had a bad new fitting before on CPVC so I’m not entirely surprised but still sucks. If it were up to me, I’d redo all this plumbing with schedule 40 or even copper and be done
 
I have a water filter with some crap sharkbite fittings.as long as im careful replacing filter it wont leak. Had to replace them once already. Next time i will get my plumber buddy in to straighten it out. I dont have to replace ut as often after i installed a much bigger one on the main line into house.

Yeah with this being a rental house, I’m not dumping a lot of money into it. Hopefully we’ll be in our built home by fall. But that’s looking doubtful as lumber prices haven’t dropped from their peak prices. It’s still 8-10 bucks a 2x4x8
