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.
