We Love Compression Fittings!

If we had to choose one thing that annoyed us most during our mobile home makeover projects, plumbing has got to be it. While we’re not sure what they are like in newer homes, water lines in older (pre-2000) mobile homes tend to be oddly configured, plastic tubing, with no shut off valves at the source.  No shut off valves at the source?  Why does this make sense? Especially when so many mobile home bathrooms have carpet in them!  (Oh wait, maybe THIS is our #1 annoyance now that I think about it!) We’re still scratching our heads over why you would put carpet in a room where there are water sources when you are going to use wafer board for sub-flooring.  If you have carpeting in your mobile home bathroom, we have two things to say:  “Good luck!” and “Get it out, NOW!”  Maybe you have an opinion about this, which you are welcome to share in the comments section of this post.

But we digress…Now back to plumbing!
