This review is from: Miller's Guide to Home Plumbing (Paperback)
I'm building a new house (sweat equity) and bought this book for "how-to" advice on my home plumbing. This is the wrong book! The word "PEX" isn't even mentioned. Things like toilet clearances aren't covered.

There's a lot of repair advice .... so for that purpose the book might be OK.

I realize that building codes vary from one place to another but something more attuned to standard national methods would have been much more helpful.
