It's supposed to get down to around 9 degrees in the next day or so.

Zen, take necessary precautions!!!

One more good hard freeze should rid me of the remainder of the CPVC in my house and cabin. Bring on the cold air!!!

Single digit temps and no busted pipes! PEX is the only way to go!

Guess I spoke too soon. This afternoon Joy said their was a little water running out from under the washing machine. The hot water hose was leaking at the washing machine. I replaced the hose washer, but still couldn't stop the leak. The connectors were pretty rusty, so I had to replace the hose. Got a pair of them at ACE for $15. When I installed them, I noticed they have an "expiration date" stamped on them. They say replace before 2021. The old hoses were old hoses when we got a new washer 15 or so years ago. Maybe that had something to do with it.

. . . and the new hose was leaking this morning!

It thought, "it just needs a little more tightening." . . . couldn't get it any tighter by hand so I bought out the a pair of pliers.

That made it worse. A LOT WORSE.

Turned the hot water valve off . . . problem solved . . . for now . . .

I think I may have stripped the plastic piece the hoses screw in to. Oh well, I haven't had to work on this washer yet. About time I got started!
