A couple weeks ago I noticed a little drip in the hot water line going to the kitchen sink. This is down in the basement so I kicked a bucket under it and made a note to fix it. Then about 2 weeks ago Angie points out a leak directly under the sink. That one turned out to be the outlet from the sink. The plumbing directly under the sink is all plastic, then a short steel pipe like what you'd have for a vanity, then a copper pipe to the sewer line. The steel pipe had rotted away completely but was between the floor and the floor of the cabinet, what a bugger that was to fix, cost us half a day of vacation... While fixing that I found a small leak in the cold water line, kicked out another bucket... Last Sunday I fixed the cold water leak, the worst part of that was the hose bib which was made up of a zillion little pieces and had apparently supported something else at some point. I took out 18 feet of pipe and replaced with 14 feet in a straight line. Today I did the same thing with the hot side including replacing two failed shut offs and finally making sure no pipes touch. The last "plumber" that worked here apparently didn't know you could run pipes at different heights and put all manner of sponges between them to keep them from rubbing. Whew. Tomorrow the ASV (snowmobile trailer groomer) gets new heater hoses, more plumbing... Curt
