Pex is quick and easy. I use it every chance I get. I like the metal rings best. However, spend the extra on the metal vice plastic fittings. The plastic ones seam cheesy to me and I fear one may fail behind a wall or ceiling.

when I had my building put up, builder told me to look at other carports and buildings which did not have vertical roofs. ( ribs that allow water and debris to flow to the ground) and see how much rust and debris was being held on the roof. That was a selling point for me was to make sure I...
