You can easily remove the tubing from the fitting (Or the fitting from the copper) with a little plastic horseshoe shaped dealywhopper that just fits over the tubing. You then press it towards the fitting and there is a little collar (if you look close) that is springlike loaded and pushes into the fitting to release the tubing. In case you ever want to disconnect.<br />Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-49028068534602191112015-10-18T17:18:38.186-04:002015-10-18T17:18:38.186-04:00DeBlade.

It's a pretty solid dry basement area.

My wife enjoys it though so I always let her have at those type of projects. I do the big stuff and she does the finish work.<br /><br />Wiring? Black wire, White wire, Ground wire. Change a circuit breaker gone bad. That and changing fixtures and such is all I get into as well.

Nosiree Bob. According to the EBEW, Romex was invented by the devil just to take jobs away from the union brothers. EMT is the only way to route wires, everybody knows that. Romex is just pure evil, just ask the closest EBEW union steward, he'll set you straight.<br /><br />And don't get my union buddies started by showing them these pictures of PVC, Kid.

I used to be a good painter, and was great stripping old woodwork, sanding it down, filling it and making it look like new. I also loved to make repairs in old plaster, and could spackle with the best of them. I was good at planning renovations too, but WIRING and PLUMBING? –– NEVER! Though I could change switches and sockets, rewire lamps and hang chandeliers all right. <br /><br />Unfortunately, at this stage of the game I can barely manage to change a light bulb on the rare occasions when one burns out. ;-)<br /><br />Time is a thief in case you hadn't noticed. <[:^(FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-73363590895002035042015-10-17T18:09:23.814-04:002015-10-17T18:09:23.814-04:00Z, I wish I had more autumn leaf pictures to share...Z, I wish I had more autumn leaf pictures to share, but because of the warm dry weather for the most part, the leaves never got those bright colors. They seemed to go from green straight to dull yellow and brown. There is a maple across the street that usually has a week of really bright red huge leaves. Not this year.
