Thanks so much for your reply! I learned a lot. As luck would have it, a family member chipped in and I got the line repaired today. I know one thing. Running water is a luxury. Thanks again!

Guess what. The patch I applied held for 8 MONTHS. Not bad for a beginner. Our problem was mice chewing the pipe. I called in an 'expert' - Zephyrus Reno & Repair in the Baytown area - and he replaced the pipe with a new length and TAPED IT. This is a high pressure water line, people. He...

I DID. I did everything but draw them a picture. I simply got the wrong department and sought the manufacturer, and STILL got callbacks from sales. :D
