I turn off the well pump, open the faucets and the manifold drain and the lines are empty in just a few minutes.

Probably Pex as it is cheap and easy and reliable to use. No copper for me to expensive and people want steal it.

Pay no attention.

Project looks great. Kinda nice to shift gears and do something else, huh?

Made that sound bad...."up north" means vacation home /destination in the great lakes states. going up north in most states doesn't have that connotation.

Thank you for the comment
Fact in winter there are more miles of snow trails in wisconsin than there is interstate

Pex is great, even if it freezes you have a fighting chance of it not bursting. I've seen it blow up like a balloon then go back to normal when thawed.

Something about being with your family on the water in Grampa's boat. Here is me and my girls in my Grampa's 55 14 footer with a 62 Evinrude 9.9 that fires on the first pull. My Mom and Dad restored this boat in 1973 for my Grampa. We still use it to this day!

Very cool I cant look at it well the picture is too small. I think the aluminum boat I have is probably the same vintage. I need to find some oars so the kids can run it around
