CenTex, relax. In the grand scheme of things, all plumbing projects average out. I recently spent a good part of 4 days replacing a failed pressure tank and a kludge of pvc/cpvc water piping with leaky valves in the cellar with about 31' of copper and quarter turn valves. While at it, I replaced the kitchen and bathroom faucets and a leaky seal in the tub faucet. Got done and only one leak from a faucet riser connection that needed another eighth turn.
I managed to keep part of the cold water on most of the time to the barn and the house cold on occasion with a washing machine supply hose from the pressure tank T with shark-bite fitting on one or another stub of pipe. I lost count of times going back to town for another handful of fittings, or at the end, another length of pipe to finish the last connection. As I was in the store one of those trips, another fellow wandered by muttering "#%@, I hate plumbing". I knew better than to say anything, lest I get to hear just how bad his project is.
There's a reason I don't do plumbing for a living, and another reason "real" plumbers can and do charge what they do: 98 times out of 100, it sucks.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
