Handy-Man Corner
I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

Honestly, you are flirting with disaster using that coupler. I sincerely hope you are not using these fittings behind walls.

I'm getting ready to run the last plumbing in my house, probably this fall, to the downstairs bath/laundry room.

I'm going to run pex most of the way, but copper already is run t hrough a wall to a shower, so I'll go pex to copper.

In the basement, not inside a wall, the sharkbite seems to be a reasonable choice. My basement isn't finished and won't be, so its not the end of the world.

I'd be fibbing if I didn't wonder how well the pex and fittings are holding up inside the wall. I've found 1 leaking in the basement.

I'm sure that was operator error. If it were problematic Pex would have never become an acceptable plumbing practice in national codes. I've had a couple leaking pex connections but it was because we didn't get the tube fully seated and crimped correctly. After you turn the water on and everything is sealed the rate of failure is miniscule.

so far only in exposed areas. though sharkbites are approved to be buried. when it comes to that a.y. mcdonald pac joint fittings are the only way to go.

People are stupid dude. You know that. If he's moving hang him. If you're stuck with him take some time to smooth it over. There's nothing better than good neighbors to watch out for one another.

Heh. I'd be ashamed to post pictures of my shop, Howie. I know where every single item is (mostly) but a picture of organization it is not.

Here is part of my latest project. Since I have built a closet in the bathroom I redid, and have 16 new windows and 30 squares of siding in the garage(hiring that out, don't have time).

Here is a snapshot of the bathroom remodel. I'll try to dig up a "before" and post it here later. I know I'm not a pro, no laughing.
