And on to the Shark Bites…

Best thing since sliced bread…at least I think so and I bet every plumber thinks so also..when I returned this summer I found out when the water was turned out I had 3 leaks…was bummed out wondering how I would get them fixed…son came up with this..he works at Home Depot…told me when he worked in my bath room the plumbing was all done with these…connectors..(couplings) you just cut out the bad part and use this to connect it together again.. here is link Shark Bite A great inventions…I know some peeps that I bet wish they had been around about 30 years ago…

  1. Good grief, that wasn't a very good homecoming. Thank goodness you have a wonderful son who works at Home Depot. My SIL also works at Home Depot - I think those are the salt of the earth men. They know everything about fixing, building, planting, etc. I think there should be a country-western song titled, "I want to date a Home Depot Man." Anyway, I'm glad you made it home safely and I'm very curious about what the RV repair place will find when they check for that noise. What a pain!

    Good to be home, though, right? :)
