Then perhaps you can explain to me while during the summer (expect at
night) when I turn on the cold water I get warm and then HOT water? I
have to let it run for over a minute just to get cool water. My
neighbors that don't had direct shade on their roofs from trees have
the same problem. A friend of mine that had his house re-plumbed (so
his pipes are now in his attic) has the *same* problem.

Attics are not heated or cooled to house temperature. *In summer, they
become solar heaters so the water gets rather warm. *

Thanks for making my point after you wrote this "I suggest you read
about the laws of physics and heat transfer. *Heat energy
will always seek out the lower temperature and the AC is removing heat
from living spaces. *Look up equilibrium."

I don't know how that makes your point. * I think the part abou
tseeing the lower temperature is ambiguous for someone who doesn't
already understand what is meant, and might be misunderstood.

From the OP that I questioned........"If the house is air conditioned,
it will cool off more." Talking about the water pipes *inside* the
walls.

Why don't you answer my post that was addressed directly to you?

In the north, you'd
never plumb a house that way because the pipes could freeze in winter.

In the north, if you need to have your house replumbed, how else is it
going to be done w/o running the pipes in the attic?

At great expense, but they don't put the pipes in the attic.

So where do they put them?
