The one with polybutylene piping?
Yep, but that's being replaced.

Fair enough I suppose. All the new houses out here (and everywhere) are using PEX, and although I cringe every time I see it, its got a good reputation. Even the multimillion dollar yachts I used to work on were full of PEX, so I guess its temperature and vibration resistant too.
At the end of the day, its about finding a house you can live with long term, and that's not easy. I looked 2 years before I bought this one.
Great, tropical system in the Gulf and I'm currently scheduled to fly home Wednesday evening.
PEX will be replacing the poly. It's pretty much the only economical solution when repiping a house this size and layout. There will still be holes cut, but the plumber is going to minimize those as much as possible.
We've been looking since last summer. We made an (albeit lowish) offer on a decent house in early December. It was better than anything we had seen at the time, but it was a compromise in a lot of ways for us. We found this house in early February and were under contract on it within a week of it coming on the market. There are a few drawbacks, but the house suits are needs about as much as we could ever expect, when looking for a home to buy instead of build. It's WAY closer to pretty much everywhere we go, has plenty of space and all of the individual rooms we desire (the bonus rooms we found in a lot of houses would work in a pinch, but would have to serve multiple purposes for us). We held out a little hope for a house with enough land for me to shoot on, but everything we found was either too expensive, too far away from everything, or the house was too small/in bad shape. After commuting ~2 hours round trip every workday for 9 years, being closer to work was probably the biggest factor in our decision. I can't wait to have an extra hour of free time every day.
Good Luck Jeep!!

The only insurance I carry is fire and costs around $300 per year. I can sweep and wash my house out. It’s risky but sending an insurance co multiple thousands per year is a waste.

I carry full coverage for $840 a year and it is well worth it for us.
Now they just hit some pipes under it
