It's the job that never ends. You repair a fitting at point 1 and
fittings at point 5 , 7, and 11 decide they want attention too -
IMMEDIATELY.. They don't give you an option to delay anything!!!

That is why I suggested cutting out everything he can get to and
replacing it with plastic. You can actually fish PEX in the walls but
you will need the tool for putting the rings on. You would need a lot
more tools and skill to do threaded pipe so it is a bargain.


Agree with that. Much easier to work with
