We're actually putting individual shutoffs on the lines into every plumbed room as we reno No, not cocks, actual hard shutoffs on the lines (raised house, copper goes through a 2m tall subfloor)

If the brewery taps spring a leak i'm damned well still gonna be able to flush the shitter.

That's a wild amount of extra work.

yah, but think of the joyyyyy.

I wanna swap out a tap? Fix a cock? I don't have to schlep down the stairs, out the front, shut off the mains, do the work, have someone schlep out there again to turn it on while I watch for leaks.... (our house was built in the 60's. We have a lot of...interesting choices we are resolving) or be unable to do anything until an issue is resolved

Lesson was learned hard after the Galvanised Pipe incident. Covered in mud, unable fix until stores opened Monday morning, unable to shower. Angry AF about it

Oh I kinda assumed it would be outside. Now I'm imagining a plumbing breaker box 🤔😁

pretty much. But not centralised, just in...places that make sense
