Too much for 1 mind!!!

So I'm an idiot and you can all say it together...IDIOT!!! Maybe I'll put that in my signature.

Last night late I noticed 3 leaks at 2 buckets and one joint. I decided to let it run all night to see if any more show up. Since I lined to room with pond liner it could empty on the floor and it wouldn't hurt anything. Anyway this morning late I went in the room and found about 5 more leaks. They were all small and probably would have sealed up after a day or two.

But I couldn't and wouldn't trust that...so I went to the plumbing store and after another $200 I had all new fittings and pipe. I also found a new plumbing house that just opened and had 1200 GPH Little Giant pumps on sale for $59.00 so I got one of those too.

I came home and carefully cut all the old out and removed the PVC, then I re-plumbed it with a nice slow drying VOC glue.

I think my previous leaks were caused by my using Red Hot Glue instead of a slow drying glue.

I let it all dry for a couple of hours and filled it up and it is now running again.

There are NO leaks at all this time.

I didn't want any problems with this setup I'm tired of re-doing all the time. Since I will be putting in a sub-floor over the drain lines I need it water tight because I won't always be able to see the joints later. This also allowed me to plumb in some additional unions and ball valves too.

I don't see any point in pictures...it looks the same except different glue....so use your imagination....
