Not So Pro 3

Been snowed in, lost power for a while, storm was worse than they said it was going to be, got twice as much snow as they said, and they kept bumping the blizzard warning out, it was supposed to over by Monday night, but it didn't stop snowing until mid-day Wednesday.

They said we would get 6-8" but we got close to 22" of the white stuff, 55-60 MPH winds with the storm which was joyful. It was wonderful for a few days, being unplugged and off the grid. Going to be in the 40's the next few days, so it will be a slushy mess.

you was probably the only one with white christmas

It was white alright, couldn't even see out the windows in my house, wind was blowing so hard all the windows were plastered with snow. I had to climb out my front living room window, to shovel the 3-4 foot drift out of the way so I could get my storm/screen door open.

Who's the resident plumber in here?

Why are there two different kinds of Pex clamps?

Crimp vs pinch clamps is one better then the other?

I'd move the hell out of that place soooooo damn fast.

It happens a few times every winter.

Even thou my door faces south, if the wind north / west wind blows just right, snow will drift my front porch in.

Such a plot twist....

Least there's not any rusty nuts & bolts to deal with, and rust crispy's falling in your eyes, and down your shirt.

I didn't take any pic's this time around.

My house is a mix, because we had two different plumbers here when the place was gutted for the remodel. 1st plumber that started, used the kind of connections with the stretch expansion rings, on the water lines, him & my ex got into a verbal altercation, she told him he was being a pussy, I was outside so I missed the whole thing, plumber came and found me and told me he won't work under such conditions where he's verbally assaulted. He packed his tools and never came back.

2nd plumber I hired did not use the stretch kind, he said he does not like them. He finished the job with crimp kind of fittings.

I need to fix two lines, and since the 2nd plumber has since passed away, I'm just going to do it myself.

So was wondering if I should buy the crimp or pinch clamps?

either works
price of the tool and crimps would be the deciding factor
i have the apollo crimp one but the other would be fine too and they seem like they would be easier to keep in place
