18. Just wanted to say "thank you".

I saw your screen name the other day on another thread and remembered my questions in THIS thread. Just wanted to say "thank you" for all of the valuable information that you provided to me.

I finally got hold of a better plumber and I think (fingers crossed!) that things are fixed this time. I know that I'll never be able to explain the solution because I didn't understand it myself, but the leak WAS in the hot water line only, but water was continuing to leak even when the hot water line was turned off at the hot water heater because of some issue with a Moen faucet. The plumber said he has seen this issue (whatever it was) before with Moen and he found and fixed everything in about an hour.

That's been about 2 months ago and so far, things are holding. If they continue to hold, I'll start reinstall of drywall and flooring right after the first of the year.

Again - just wanted to say thanks. Hope you and your family are well, and will enjoy a tremendous holiday!
