Default Plumbers & Super Bowl

What's a Super Bowl , some new kind of toilet ? And FWIW , I not only have
a quarter turn valve on the WH , but there's one for a main line cutoff
right by the house and a pair that turn off the laundry and kitchen under
the house - and there will be a pair on the lines to the new master bath too
. Turning off the main does leave one yard faucet on .


Actually I have a whole house PEX manifold system so I don't have stop
valves at every water supply line. I can turn off hot or cold lines
in the laundry room. I added a 1/4 turn ball valve on the WH for good
measure. Today it paid for itself and didn't flood my garage when the
sudden leak happened.

BTW. The BBQ ribs are melt in your mouth tender -- 6 hours low and
slow. Yummly good.
