Re: Project '64 Cheapskate
We're in the High Desert at 3000ft above sea level, where the temperature can get as low as the single digits in the winter to triple digits in the summer. We have huuuge temperature swings here, where we can have a 40 degree difference between the low and high temps of the day.
I've got R-19 insulation in the attic, so I think PEX would be just fine up there.
It's funny that you mentioned carpeted bathrooms. When we bought the house, both bathrooms were fully carpeted, and when I ripped it all out to lay tile, the area around the toilets stunk so bad that I still cringe to this day. And I think that they kept a cat box in the common bathroom, tucked around behind the toilet. Ughhhh..... When we got the house, we gutted it and started fresh.
The folks who owned the house before us were a little strange, to say the very least. Their cat lived in the attic........seriously.
