the 1/2" pex fitting

PEX FITTING NIGHTMARE

Two 1/2" to 1/2" fittings,but the pex on the right will not thread into a 1/2" valve for a leakproof connection. I had to sweat copper to get this valve on.

My drain didn’t line up so……. I had to tear into the ceiling below. This surprise project looks worse than what it was.

NEW FLOOR TODAY

My wife wanted vinyl flooring. We did ceramic on the other bathroom, but she doesn’t like it because it’s cold in the winter. This vinyl has a nice feel to it, and it was cheap!
