Our Cape's New Pipes

Thanks to the kind soul(s) that broke out our little Cape's front window and stole all the copper (maybe 20 bucks worth), we had to replumb.

It wasn't as cheap as I'd hoped it might have been, but really, for about $500 to repair EVERY line to a kitchen sink, 2 bathroom sinks, 2 showers, 2 outdoor spigots and 2 toilets, I can't really complain.

We used something called PEX (Cross-linked polyethylene) and loads of Sharkbite fittings. Guy and our wonderful friend Brian spent a few hours hooking everything up. No sweating!

They did a great job and the water is ON!!

This is what $340 of fittings looks like

PEX! It's all over the place!

Done!
