Greg, I'd definitely still be willing to lend whatever help I can. Having only set up ONE, I'm no expert, but hey....two heads are better than one? Or is it fools seldom differ? Huh....
I set mine up near my washing machine, which has worked splendidly. I was also very worried about piercing water lines, especially since I rent...hah. But I got a "Y" adaptor for my cold water line and attached a brass gate valve fitting. Boo-yah! I can take pics tonight if you want.
