    In this episode of Blueprint for Home Building the plumbing in your new home will be the focus.

    Where does the water come from, and how does it get to the faucet? In this episode host Jeff Wilson discusses municipal and well-water source options, and then the path of the water is followed from the curb to individual fixtures in the home. The advantages and disadvantages of three piping options -- copper, PVC and Pex -- are considered, and the episode concludes with a clear description of how water is heated via the hot water heater and distributed to the points of use throughout the home.
