Looking real good, I like those preformed stairs that's another thing on my to-do list, replace my starting to rot untreated wood stairs with treated.

Very nice. The home-run pex manifold is a slick setup.

grumpy · By: **grumpy** On: Wed Dec 05, 2012 8:59 pm

Thanks guys, the PEX is done, I have the copper prepared for the water conditioner. Tomorrow I will install the electrical for the well pump pressure switch. After that I will vent the water heater. At that point I can move the water conditioner down into the basement. I'll pressurize the new system with the old, if all is well I will then make the switch and the new system will be online..

Thanks Fred, the thing is to keep the house working at all times, can't have any down time (no water) this is working out well, my old gear, water heater, well tank is at the end of it's life so I was able to buy new stuff which I was going to need anyway and build the new system. And again, I will pressurize it with the old, so If I have leaks or any other problems I won't go into a panic to get them fixed. I can take my time and do the switch when I'm ready.

I have one bathroom plumed into the new system now, so when the switch happens that bath will be working, then I'll hook up the other bath, the pex is in place to take over the copper in the 2ed bath, kitchen and wash room..

NICE planning.

[quote="freetown fred"]NICE planning.[/quote

Yes I did alot of planning. And I still have to get the radiant heat floor going, another project. Those two copper pipes you see going off to the left will be the loop to the heat exchanger for the floor.. There will be lots going on that left side of the half wall I built. This is what I'm thinking..
