I did paint over with some mold restistance water proof paint. Cant remember the brand. but i just put 3/4" plywood there just for a quick fix. No gype rock. the Wall board you see is just plywood painted black and yea thanks for the advise on the green board, I remember redoing around a bath tub once we used that stuff.
ill go get this done.
i think my only other issue will be with the down pipe the old one i want to reuse is alot bigger then the new one.
But i think i can get a peice that goes from one size to the other.

 

Yeah you should be able to get any size reducer that you need.

 

this sucks. i cant shut that particular line off, the whole house shuts off except that one? wierd eh. and the shut off valve doesnt fit proper the line , the line is too small? and the down pipe is missing a middle piece. so now what......... I just seen your post , is that what its called a reducer?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

in the fitting there a bunch a parts. that piece it together,, first theres a sleeve that goes inside the line. then a widget ( a round piece that goes into the nut that goes on the end of the line.) that piece is just loose inside the nut. thats where the fitting it too big.....??????? my batteries just died in the cam, or id take a shot for you......its the same as whats on the other line. ...... do u understand what im talking about?
I do really appreciate your imput.. BTW

 

You have me confused. You have two water lines coming out of the wall correct? One should be hot and the other cold. Which line is leaking? As for the middle pipe you are talking about the drain correct. Pics are worth a thousand words right now.

 

correct and the cold is leaking.drain pipe is right. going to home depot will buy batteries for camera and see what i can get for proper lines. fittings..etc.. the middle pipe goes from a 11/4 to ? mabye a 3/4 i should go measure before i go. ill get back at ya, after i come back......... ttyl

 

Ok

 

yea , I got back and the whole downstairs was flooded. omg. I go to home depot and they insist i need a whole new elbow. bring it all back and nope was just the one screw clamp thingy that i needed. from the tube down under the sink is good now, just the leak...which is still leaking.... and its hot water to btw. not cold like i thought,

 

ummmm at this point i know it'll be hard for you to live down but you would be money, time, and headache ahead to call a plumber if you haven't already fixed it..... sorry i had to say it but that's what i would have done.... if caulk, plumbers putty, and expanda foam won't fix it then that's all i got.....

 

If it is the hot water side leaking you can shut off water going into the water heater for now to stop the leak if you haven't already. I would buy a new shutoff valve and replace it at the wall. This usually mean soudering(sp) though and dont know how comfortable you are with that. If it is leaking at the fitting buy a new hose and teflon tape both threaded ends you will be attaching it to. Like I said before though without a pic of the leak it is hard to give advice like this. Do they both have shutoff valves that you hook your hose to? Is it just leaking were the hose connects is stuff I would need to know to help you out. Leaking at the valve or the faucet?

well i got it fixed. after all that, the widget I referred to (made up that name ) is really a ferrow(SP?) and that wasnt put over the pex line very well. once I got that clamped on there proper, ta-da the leak stopped. I counldnt sodder anything cause its all plastic.. that wouldnt help..but thanks for the advice guys.. now all i have to do is drill a bunch of holes in the side of the cabinet and feed the lines through. caulk the counter and hook everything up, then it should be ready to use.. Now I have another leak from the dishwasher........................should i tackel that too...........
btw i really dont like plumbing..
