So I cut out enough sheetrock to get some wrenching room, got the old=20
pipes out without too much trouble.=C2=A0 I sprayed a few of the joints wit=
h=20
WD40 a few times, maybe that helped, maybe it didn't.


So now the question is can I get the sealing face that rusty old union=20
cleaned up enough to get a good seal, or am I going to have to replace=20
it too, which might mean tearing into the wall in the next room.=C2=A0 Or=
=20
maybe not.

And then, this project has got me thinking.=C2=A0 It might be my cue to buy=
 a=20
roll of PEX, a cutter and a crimper and start using it to fix this=20
problem and the next one on my list, the washing machine.=C2=A0 At the mome=
nt=20
when you select a hot water wash, the machine fills up at a rate of=20
about a gallon a day.=C2=A0 Is it just the fill hose being clogged, or the=
=20
valve, or the pipes feeding it?=C2=A0 Fun fun fun!
