Here we strive to provide you with plumbing and water information that is reliable, responsible, and free. The purpose of this site is to show YOU how to do it, not just to show an abbreviated video of how I did it. A plumbing glossary is included on each subject page.
Avoid turning "Do It Yourself" into "Damage It Yourself" - Be Informed!
