well I got 200 feet of pex today and plastic fittings for the ends to hook the pump onto, compliments of a friend, I guess that roll fell off the truck he said.
so weather permitting I'll have the hole dug Saturday morning, I'll post pictures of the dig and lay out as I go along, I drilled a 4 foot deep hole with a 1 inch earth drill bit and dropped a temp probe in 2 days ago and its holding temp at 50 degrees,

dont see anything but crimp fittings in south jersey, and pex has been around since the mid 70s i believe. either way most plumbers around me wont touch either and will only do copper
ya... lots around here will only do copper as well. many are switching cuz of copper prices. which recently started to drop a little
