Strut	# Posted: 14 Oct 2012 15:19 Reply Greetings, I have gotten so much GREAT advice & info from this site I thought I'd try again! I was going to build a cabin from scratch but got lazy and bought a 14x28' from Cotton States Barns. Anyway, I already have my power hooked up and just ran 70 feet of 3/4 PVC pipe for water. After turning it on, I have found no apparent leaks. Our first freeze is still a little ways off, so how long should I monitor the pipes for leaks before burying them? As always, I look forward to your replies. Thanks!
