Just curious if anyone listens to Glen Haege ("Hagy") radio broadcast
(it's either Saturday or Sunday morning) on AM radio. I don't know if
it's syndicated across the country, or just broadcast on Detroit's WJR.

I was just looking at his website, wondering how to ask him a question
about what he knows about painting a roof white to lower attic heat and
reduce cooling expense, but I really can't find any way to ask a
question via his website.

I found a page that lists "Most recent Ask Glenn topics", but the last
one seems to be Dec 28/2010 (nothing for 2011).

It's somewhat troubling to see that this last question was this:

"I have galvanized water pipes in my home and want to replace
them. Can you recommend a company that would install PEX
water lines? I am assuming that they would be less costly
to install than copper."

And his answer was this:

"Installing PEX is a really good decision. "

I can find no other reference to PEX on his website. I would think that
the PEX lawsuit would be mentioned somewhere.


Where is this mysterious "PEX lawsuit"? The only lawsuit I'm aware of is
against one particular brand and type of fittings commonly used with PEX
tubing, nothing against the PEX tubing or the many other brands and
types of fittings available. Your exaggeration is rather like claiming a
"car lawsuit" in reference to one bad part on one brand of car.

There's at least two companies involved in the lawsuit.
Zurn, and Uponor.
Pex has been used in the US for 20 years, 40 years in Europe.
There's nothing wrong with the tubing, just some brass fittings by the
above companies.
Apparently those fittings contained zinc in the brass before being cast.
The zinc was the problem.
