Did you buy the little crimper for the pex? I would love to use pex to plumb the barn out but I heard the crimpers and other tools were pretty expensive. I can only imagine how easy it must be to install!

I've alot of pex for my motor home. I did not go for the crimper's because that is what is failing in the motor home. they do make nifty threaded joints for making turns etc.

Hey no rush. Thanks for remembering.

Sorry to hear about the sinus infection. Gotta hate those.

Sup guys. Haven't been on much as I have been down sick since Monday. I have strep and it is kicking my *** good. Sent Cody, Kiefer and Hunter to stay across town so that I do not get the baby sick. That wouldn't be good.

Cody sent me this via cell phone earlier today:

Strep sucks. I've had it two or three times and it really sucks. Feel better soon and make sure you take your antibiotics like you're supposed to.

No I didnt buy the crimper, yet. See Im planning on doing my basement with pex too, and I SHOULD have bought the crimper for our place here, cause it would have been worth it in the end, over renting one. I think the crimper is like 200 bucks or so.

Pexing is simple, and so far the crimping I have done, has held really well, although its only been just over a year so far.
