Handy Matty

Over the weekend Matt put together and installed a new water softener at my mom's new house! He had her purchase a two-tank system that is much more efficent and durable.

Shaving the burrs off the copper pipe

He manuevered the copper piping around the sprinkler system piping. After he installed it, he tested the line. All of his joints held up, but the 5-foot section of pipe itself had a defect pinhole in it that Matt had to unexpectedly repair. At least we had a professional to fix it (named Matt)!

The head just barely fit under her low crawl space ceiling.

The finished product - you can also see the electrical outlet on the right that he had to re-route so the water softener could be plugged in without blocking the walkway.
