I used pex for the first time ever. Supply plumbing was done in 1 day. I love that stuff. The company I worked for, we always ran copper lines. I liked running copper. Although pex is way cheaper,quicker, and simpler. When I purchase a house of my own (renting now) Any mods I do will be copper. |

Have you seen the price of copper lately? I've been a copper only guy for the last 3 houses but I couldn't argue with the price of pex. I spent well less than half including buying the tools.

we havent seen a real big push of "spring" fish through GR yet this year......... Had a lot of fall and winter fish, but not many spring fish yet..... So far its pretty on schedule, usually in the next 1-2 weeks they come up.

True that. When we get into a house of our own, I'm sure I won't be doing such extreme renovations and chances are it'll be copper to begin with. I have everything I need already as far as tools too. Copper along with all metal for that matter is sky high. Funny though we just keep importing our scrap over to china so they can build crap dirt cheap just to send it back over for us to buy. And as consumers, theres no way around it at this point. Sad when you hafta say "I can't afford American made products"  |

Jeez, I wish I had a break at work for a day to get out there. But as the fisherman come out of the woodwork when the temps warm up, unfortunately so do all of god's little creatures, which in turn keeps me too busy to fish during the week! That's a lot of people for already for a Wednesday. Going to be a crazy weekend out there. Glad I was able to get a lot of fish under my belt over the winter. |
