why did my mom put a smoke detector in my room!?

Answer:

Been a plumber over 40 years. What you have now is pure junk. You will surely be removing sheetrock.Type L hard copper would be a permanent and sure way to a trouble free system however being from the old school I have no faith in shark bites being buried in a wall. The only sure way is to sweat it together. It takes more time, but is well worth it. The only reason these new fangled ways of joining pipe and fittings, is because not many people can sweat copper any more. If this job is put in right you probably won't need a regulator unless your your pressure is off the map. Hope this helps.
Most new homes are using PEX- I personally have as much faith in PEX as the plumber here has in Shark bites- but I LOVE shark bite joints. Unless you are competent in sweating copper, use the shark bite connections. You will be doing a lot of remodeling to open the walls throughout the house and replace the pipes - big job. Skip the PEX tool from a rental center- any plumber who uses PEX will tell you unless you know how to use the tool properly, just like sweating copper, the pex will fail at the connectors.
good will, forever 21, you can mix and match! some it's girlie ignore that if you want all the gangster stores too have nice skinny jeans and shirts. try not to go to hot topic way to many people do that to look goth try going there only for their cute dresses and band t shirts. be an individual not mainstream.
