    Yep, you're right about that! The plumbers want to pressure test the supply line but to get to it we've got to move a granite double vanity. Waiting for the insurance company to send out somebody to do that. If the supply line fails the pressure test, then we'll run a new supply line inside the wall. So much fun! Thanks for your help.

    Tom, I followed these instructions - "If you would like to tip me please click on my name and profile and if my answer helped, please click on "AGREE/DISAGREE and add a comment Thanks!" But for the life of me I couldn't find the AGREE/DISAGREE thingy. Maybe just a long day.

    Hi MajRon

    It didn't work 'cause things have changed a little. If you want to tip Tom, click on his name and then click on VIEW PUBLIC PROFILE. At his profile you will see a yellowish icon that presents "SUPPORT THIS MEMBER"... click on it and follow the links to paypal, etc. In terms of the agree/disagree, the button has changed to helpful/not helpful... it's in every box we post in... ;) Just click on helpful as that is always appreciated!

    Tom, you need to update your signature!

    Good luck with the plumbing issues MajRon!

    The leak is finally fixed. Turns out the leak was in one of the supply lines running under the slab. In order to pressure test that line we needed to move a double vanity with a granite top! Not an easy task as the plywood sub-base for the granite was screwed from the top. After much consideration my insurance company's contractor tried to pry the granite off - and of course that didn't work - the granite promptly broke. A problem for the insurance company and fortunately not me.
    The plumbers capped off both ends of the bad supply line and ran a new line through the wall from a nearby manifold over to my toilet. So that's done. Now I've just got to retile the floor, redo a wall, replace the countertop and sinks... Got my work cut out for me.
    Thanks to all for your help!
