    Main supply line into my house: Phasing out the copper?

    Thanks in advance for any advice here! My well water comes up from my well pump in a PCV line, 1 inch. However, just a foot or two before coming through my cinder block foundation/basement wall, it connects to copper, 3/4 in. pipe. Once through the wall, that copper line "tees" into 1/2 in...

    Hi. Thanks in advance for any advice here. 1) I'm replacing supply pipe with new 200 psi roll pipe. Power wire is 12/3 and should be replaced but have to wait for now. Mostly good, with several splices. Some places showing abrasive wear from torque jerks. 1) I'm using liquid electric tape...

    Diagnosis of Problem Appreciated!

    I'm about to dig down to find the top of my septic tank as well as the two "Catch boxes" (or whatever you call them) that are apparently on either side and just a few feet away from the main tank. Each box is located on separate lines, each of which run from different houses: my residence, and...
