I finally finished fixing this damn water leak. I got woken up to a water leak under the house around 3am, I shut the water off and went back to bed. It turned out to be a T fitting so I wrote down what I needed and headed to the store. They had everything I needed except the compression tool for PEX pipe, neither did the other store, or the next one.
Lucky for me the last hardware store in town had one. For $67. So I buy the fucking thing and I'm about to drive home when I remember the batteries in my flashlight had pretty much had it, so I drive to the nearby dollar store.
They are closed for some reason, probably because that place was a disaster and they sent someone to sort it out, again. So I drive to the other dollar store and they're out of AAA batteries. Yeah, it's one of those days.
I go all the way to wally world for some batteries, go home and get to work. Only my pipe cutter is missing out of my tool box, I check the sheds, both trucks, all of my tool boxes, the junk drawer in the kitchen, everywhere. So I had to go back to town and buy a pipe cutter and yes, the first two hardware stores and walmart were sold out of pipe cutters. I get the pipe cutter and head home and everything is going smoothly until I try to splice the second new piece of PEX I cut, one of the fittings (I got them both off the same rack) is for PEX to Poly, not PEX to PEX.
It wouldn't fit, so I had to go back to town and buy another one from a different store since the one I got those from only had the two.
