Had a nearly identical experience when I redid my laundry room. Figured I’d just replace the old outlets, but once I opened the wall, it was like a sp...
Honestly, I’m still on the fence about going all-in with PEX for a shower swap. I get the speed and flexibility, but I’ve run into issues with fitting...
Funny how much time we spend on the “quick fixes” before just swapping something out. I did the same—vinegar soaks, poking at the nozzles, you name it...
Honestly, swapping the lines always seemed like a shortcut that could bite you later. I tried it once and ended up chasing a slow drip for weeks befor...
