You know you're a grown-up when....


You know you're a grown-up when you see Mr. UPS and get excited realizing he has the new plumbing stuff for the house. The fun part has officially started! Today the new plumbing system arrived. It's call PEX plumbing and for those of you who know nothing about plumbing (me, until recently)...this is the greatest invention ever. We actually have the same system in our home that we live in (see photo). When we finished off our lower level (with a bathroom) the plumbing portion took no time at all. All of the tubes are flexible plastic (so much easier than pvc). In addition to the flexibility, each tube coming into the mainframe (no, that's not the proper word) is then labeled what it is. Plus, it's common sense: red tube = hot water, blue tube = cold water. Even I feel like I understand plumbing. The best part: it's cheaper. Easier and faster to install, super simple to understand, and significantly better priced. It's a good day. If you happen to be in the need for new plumbing, Trent ordered the goods from PEX Supply.
