Good morning Cafe I have a puzzle appearing,

Their father is Smudge a blue marans, He was breeder bird.
With my flock I have the big birds in the main coop no banty.
Banty have their own coop.
All previous where black birds these are blue with feathers on their legs.
 
I have a plumbing question for the handy people here.

Pex. Yea, or Nay?

If you don't recommend Pex, why, and what DO you recommend?

Hubby is "pretty sure" he can do the plumbing involved with the bathroom remodel project. We did pay for the switch we wanted added, because hubby knows his limits, and electricity is not his strong suit.

I replumbed more than one house using PEX. I try to avoid putting fittings in the walls whenever I can.
I love it.

This is for the shower. It will be in a wall, but hubby is making the wall removable for any needed access.

A friend is trying to talk him out of Pex, saying he's read of lots of failures. (That's all I know; failure of what, I'm not sure.) Copper is what's there right now. Hubby is thinking he may go with copper, as he's also read negative things about Pex.

Dang, @DobieLover, I wish you lived close enough to advise on this project.

Today we (hubby, and I was hands to hold things) did some drywall. Lots of little things that made it a PITA job.

I told hubby that he would have loved to work on anything my stepdad built. The corners were square, things were level, and no proud stuff anywhere.

It's typically the fittings. Don't buy the cheap knockoff fittings. Stick to the Apollo or SharkBite fittings.
For the shower head I always mount a drop ear to a 2x4 positioned wherever it needs to be so the face end up flush with the tile, or close to it, so that you can thread in the shower arm. That way you've got a very solidly built and supported shower head.
 
Good morning Cafe. Coffee is now ready too.

It's 45 degrees going to mid 60s today. Nice and sunny.

My niece got her very first job as a hostess and is working at a newly opened restaurant less than 2 miles from their house. We all went out to eat last night at the restaurant.

One of my sister's patients was out having dinner with her family. I thought that was great. If she is my sister's patient, she is in hospice. My sister waved hello to her son.

About 10 minutes later, the son and his wife were heading out the front door for some reason (they hadn't been served yet) when we heard a big crash. He passed out and fell into his wife who fell into the high chairs. My niece began to urgently wave her mother over. The son came to a few minutes later then started vomiting violently.

My sister said he never hit his head so it wasn't because of a concussion. The ambulance took him to Packard hospital. How sad for that family.

I'm proud of my niece though. She stayed cool under pressure, acted quickly to get her nurse mother there to watch over him, cleaned up the mess and kept the gawkers at bay until the paramedics arrived. This was just her second week on the job.
