this ain't some random wall where he's saying he wants to avoid hitting water pipes...this is a wall in which he KNOWS there are water pipes...and yes, what if he used a 4" lag bolt to hang it (assuming wood studs)...and the piping is run
We're not talking a 1890's Victorian or Alcatraz where there's a 2 foot gap between walls here...if the copper is run in the 2x4's then he could certainly drill into, and hit it.

Go to the store, buy a copper pipe, take it home, secure it and try drilling into it. Let me know how easily that goes. There's a good likelihood the drill bit will just slip off the pipe.
1. If anyone can't drill straight into a stud... they shouldn't be drilling into a stud. I mean that seriously!!
2. Copper pipe will not puncture like hot butter. (That's why they're copper!!)
3. Pipes are installed in such a way, to avoid this from happening.
4. Use a stud finder. Mark the left and right side of the stud. Do it in two or three places, a few inches apart, up and down the stud, to be sure nothing interfered with the original markings. Drill between two marks. It's that easy.
There literally is no way of screwing this up. Trust.

pex brah

Newer homes use pex. If I remember correctly, Flip's house is from the late 90s/early 00s. Not sure how prevalent it was then. That stuff is wonderful to install, compared to having to solder every copper joint.

just installed it, like 4-5 days ago. Granted, no pipes in the garage wall, but everything still applied and came out all good. There was electrical cables in the wall... Didn't hit them!

Moving am the suck. I seriously rather be at work watching a data conversion fail after 4+ hours.
Team Owner
What? It's not that bad. Especially if everything is boxed up and easy to transport.
The nice thing about moving is being able to get rid of so much useless shit that you've acquired over the years. Feels nice to declutter and simplify.

More than anything it's just coordinating all the installations and waiting around for them to show up. Just alot to do.

It is... Setting up utilities again and stuff... Good times.
It is a pain, but it is also exciting getting to be in the new place, and having a brand new canvas to work on.

Are you just going to pay someone to do your landscaping?
we will be getting rid of some more grass in the spring. More landscaping stuff going in, which makes me happy. I like lawns as an accent, not as a main feature. I know you hate lawns too, Yummy. I'm no fan of having a ton of it. Just more to cut every week
We can't get rid of too much though, because of the dog. Fucking lovable dog.

Yessir. Already put in the request for quote.
Your putting green idea was awesome...I'll see if I can get a small patch installed in the back to serve as the "grass". It may go in the front instead since I have to conform to the landscaping guidelines. Gotta read that...
Later.

I think I'm gonna start fixing up the TL... Get her back to her former glory.
Made a list of shit to do... Some easier/cheaper than others. Gonna have to check the car over to see if I'm missing anything.
thing to do #1: replace TL with another car
no, I'm kidding. The biggest thing is the clutch. I figure I couldn't even sell the car for a decent price right now if it's not replaced. I mean, it still works, but it has its quirks that need addressing.
