I know pex is a good product for home heating systems since it is easy to work with and will not burst if it has a chance to freeze.  What is not cool about pex is that it must be cheese flavored.  I'm thinkin Colby Jack.  Appearantly, a hard to catch mouse has chewed enough to create a hole in my pex b/w the first and second floors.  I must have caught this early and only have minor damage to my drywall in my dining room and damage to my finished basement ceiling.  The bad news it that this is the second time this has happened over a five year period.  The first time I did not catch soon enough resulting in a compelet remodel of my dining room and moderate damage to finished basement.    The not so funny thing is, is that I replaced the same pex section the second time around.  This time I repaired it with a copper "shark bite" fitting instead of another section of pex.  Hopefully the mouse cannot chew through copper.  Could it be time for a CAT?

The mice like the air lines on my trucks too

Mice like my stuff.  Years ago I had to have my car rewired at a tune of $700.00
