little each day, got a door today. apparently my rough opening was almost too small for this door, I swear I had the recommended measurements, but i guess not. So to make it work it had to go in a little tilted lol. didn't help that my concrete isn't remotely close to level, but I thought I took that into account when I built the rough opening. Wish I would of made the rough opening a half inch bigger both ways, but oh well. it opens and shuts, just what I needed. Also with the concrete being so unlevel it made my threshold float in the air, Only thing I could think of was to spray some foam under it to give it a little support when someone steps on it. We shall see how this works out.

Looks good. Those rodents will probably never notice your measurements didn't come out perfect.

yea its pex. flexible, it can supposedly even give a little if it freezes, no guarantee it wont split but much better chance than hard pipe. cuts a lot easier. I'll see how successful my connection are when I turn the water on lol. I tapped in the house supply and did 4 crimps there and those held, now to see if my other 100 or so hold when I turn that valve lol. crimper is sure giving me a work out though, not exactly the easiest thing to repeatedly use. my elbows are throbbing as i type this. I know its nothing but I do enjoy its color coding also lol. You can get it in white if you want though. oh also it turned out to be much cheaper and time saver compared to soldering copper, which is what I used to do.

Yea, I like it for the lack of joints you have to use. I know a lot of new construction around here is going to all PEX where they just homerun all the connections. Pretty cool, and like you, I also like the color coding. Soldering copper is an art form... one that I've tried and just can't master.

Yea I'm not sold on the home run everything method, seems like a lot of wasted pipe to me, I mean the shower sink and toilet are next to each other, why use 3 separate lines? As for soldering, no doubt an art form. I'll never claim to be good at it, just good at fixing my screw ups lol

Yeah I would be the guy with copper and a lot of "sweating" going on.

Thank you for getting the Schlage keypad and not the Kwik Set...... The new "Smart Key" lock is plain junk.
