does it make too much sense to make things easy. why would you put the plumbing through the floor joist, at least its not a supporting joist just a piece nailed to existing joist. but it just so happens that the leak is inside, so i have to cut out the t section and replace it all. at least when i go home tonight ill still have a hot shower. it wasn't that way when i was working on my plumbing.
working on the cold lines first but it seems to appear that were the copper pipe goes through the floor it seems to have corroded and formed holes.(pops do you have any thoughts) its almost as if the wood got damp and it corroded just in these spots. the pic has arrows pointing to some of these hole, one was so bad it pulled apart when un-installing. of right now it looks like pex pipe will be my new best friend. every time i fix one and cut on the water i find another, sounds like fun...o it is. at least i have more than a foot of crawl space and getting in and out is a snap. i don't think i slipped even one small curse word into my vocabulary today, and that's a record!

looks like a pain, but a hot shower at the end of the day is a plus. Hope you get it figured out soon!
Pex pipe sounds good, the KISS principal.
