An endless selection of plumbing parts. Whatever I need, I’ll find it here. Often I only have a vague idea of how I’m going to do something, but being able to search through these shelves and dry-fit parts together tends to unlock solutions I hadn’t even thought of.
Then there’s also the immense calm I feel being in a space where everything is neatly organized in its dedicated places.
35 years?! That can’t be right.
“PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) was invented in 1968 by German scientist Dr. Thomas Engel. It was first introduced for commercial use in Europe during the early 1970s and became widely used in North America starting in the mid-1980s, initially for radiant floor heating before moving into plumbing.”
I had no idea there have been commercial PEX installations going on 55 years old now.
