I’m crossing my fingers for the inspection tomorrow, because if we have to replumb one thing, we may have to replumb the whole thing. Our air pressure test is holding steady at a notch over 10 psi, though, which is what the inspector is looking for.
Dad and I both took off work at three today, and headed for Home Depot, where they apologized and sent us back to plumbing, where a more experienced guy got a bit pissed at the guy who'd screwed things up for us the night before. Got all the threads re-cut and headed home, where it went together just right. Cut the hole in the wall of the house, and I went out to measure our last long run... and realized our long lengths were either too long or not long enough. Dad was all for coupling two together, but I wanted to conserve materials (and my money), so I called Oly Supply -- and they were happy to cut pipe, despite not having purchased any there (this bit was actually from the old plumbing), for a very small fee. YAY OLY SUPPLY! If I'd known that going into things, I might've been able to do this more efficiently... or not. It's hard to plan things where you can't really measure piece #2 until piece #1 is in place.
While we were there I picked up PF-TSP and a can of rustoleum, so if the inspection goes well I can get the exterior piping painted. The one joint we left out there unpainted has already started to rust. Since yesterday.
