    got water back on except for the kitchen. i've got 2 galvanized steel pipes going thru the concrete wall with very little play. have to replace them with copper before tuesday afternoon insurance inspection. a couple of hrs should do it once i get 2 new shutoff valves for the hot & cold water lines into the kitchen.

    I was thinking of the lines used in Dune where they were knocking down the palace walls. "Gurney... use the atomics..."

    That sounds like a major overhaul you're doing. Call me cheap, but I would have gone with PVC, plus it's easier to use.

    I have the Craftsman equivalent to the Dremel and it does come in very handy and most of the Dremel accesories will work with it.

    For cutting something like metal pipe I like the sawzall (reciprocating saw). Different companies make them with different names, sawzall is the one by Milwaukee. They whip right through metal pipe. With the interchangeable blades they'll go through 2x4s or anything else to be found around the house.

    Sounds like you're really into home repair. Is that your family home you're doing all the work on?

    pacman, yes. couldn't use the sawzall in that area as to confined an area & blade not long enough. dremel idea didn't work so went with plan b & now have running water back on in the house except for outside tap. no leaks after 14.5 hrs of work.

    What was plan b? "Atomics", air arc, or acetylene torch? ;) With no leaks and in a tough situation like you described, congrats on a job well done.

    Glad plan B worked. Now lets hope all goes well with the inspection.

    I once did an electrical setup that had to be inspected. First thing the inspector did was check for a licensed electrician's signature on the paperwork. He turned down the initial job. My brother-in-law is licensed. He signed off on the job and the inspector okayed it. I guess you get the picture, one professional taking care of his counterparts.
