I'll bet the green one is sweating harder than the black one. I'll bet the black one is a hot line. i'll bet it's a damp crawl too. []

Not damp yet. Just never saw a run that long of the green stuff. What is the green stuff or black stuff anyway?

[John Kogel]

Copper oxide if I had to guess, which I do. But why corrosion, I can't say.

Maybe some corrosive materials stored under the house.

Past break in a drainpipe? Sewer gas = discolored copper.

They're on septic.

So it's their own gas and not the neighborhood's.

[Jim Katen]

They're on septic.

No dif.

Actually, I get tired of not knowing everything. Drives me nuts. Gotta go figure out the difference between horns & antlers now . . .

That's easy. Horns are on cows. Ya can't shoot them. Deer have antlers. Go ahead.

Antlers fall off, horns don't.

Jim, I know that was a joke, because you knew the answer, maybe forgot you knew.

Know the difference between a simpleton and a rocket scientist?

Nice find, Denny, and a good pic.
