    My New House & Workshop

    The house I grew up in had a finished basement. My last house had an office in the basement, and the one before that had a basement with a large train table and and an area for my kids to play. I've never had a basement flood.

    My New House & Workshop

    I miss having a house with a basement. I wish this house had one. Basements are extremely rare in Texas. I haven't seen one in the 8-years I've lived here.

    My New House & Workshop

    My daughter asked me if I would help them, and even offered to pay me. I'm not going to take money from my kids for helping them. I told them I'd come over and fix it once I was done replacing my waterline. Knowing they were counting on me to help them actually started stressing me. Worried...

    My New House & Workshop

    My son-in-law first noticed that the floor was getting hot before realizing they had a leak. The spot under this tile was the hottest. This problem has been happening for a while. They've put off fixing it because of the cost. They were shutting the hot water tank off when they weren't using it...

    The line is buried and the valve boxes are in. This spigot doesn't appear to be leaking. I used the Rectoseal 5 on it. This was the first spigot I installed. I removed it, removed the Teflon tape and used the Rectoseal 5. It still has a small trickle of water running down the face of the...

    You sound like you're describing plumbers tape. The yellow tube says it's multi-purpose and can be used on metal and PVC and formulated for potable water and natural gas.

    He showed two different Rectoseal 5's. I didn't know if they were the same.

    I got the yellow tube when I was at Home Depot the other day. Are you talking about that one, or the bottle with the brush?

    My New House & Workshop

    Welcome to the shit show. Drilled a hole in the side of the shop and brought the waterline up from the ground and into the building. I used 3/4" PVC pipe from the 3/4" Pex in the ground and wrapped it in insulation and ran it up through a piece of 4x4 vinyl post to further protect it. I...
