Yo, GUEST, Sibelius,

What brucie has said above is probably the culprit... Aeeing as it is getting warmer out there is less contraction in the hot water pipe from ambiant (outside) temperatures... It hasn't really gona a way at all but will be back next fall as the temperatures cool down...

You can correct this by wrapping your hot water pipes with a foam insulation tubes which are cheap... Oh course you may have to hire a kid to crawl unner the house to install them... Or not and then you can refresh this thread in 6 months???

Good luck either way...
