I'll move this to around the campfire....

PEX is the most amazing thing ever. I've hated plumbing of all kinds, forever. Sweating a pipe makes me feel like a total moron. I just plain don't get along with drains, sinks, fittings of all kinds...

But the PEX stuff...it's amazing, because it's so much like electrical work (which I like and do very, very well) and the tools are simple, effective and cheap.

All in all, we'll have the whole house over to PEX this year.

Can't use it where exposed to sunlight, though.
