The plumbers spent two full days in, under, over, and digging around the house. We re-piped hot & cold for the whole house; two full baths, kitchen, hot water heater, washer hook-up, 2 hose bibs. We got a brand new water heater, which ended up costing us $100 more than originally quoted 6 months ago. Their costs have gone up in the 6 months since the quote, they only charged us for the increase in the water heater, because it's not one of their parts. But apparently water heaters have gone up a hundred bucks in 6 months, who knew water heaters were such a volatile market? The other surprise was the valve box for the washer and dryer, which was about $250, too bad they retail for about $25.I guess with so much going on at the house i'm going to "take a bath" here and there. (pun intended)
We had a little leak where one of the toilet water line meets the floor, so they came out to fix it, after they left, the electrician there was a leak in the toilet line. I said, I know. He said no, this other toilet. It's ok they're coming back to hook up the fridge any way right? He wanted me to build a wall behind the fridge where he can put a valve for the fridge. Luckily, this was included in the original quote price.

Our new hole for the fridge, we pushed it back in the wall so it will be even with the 24" cabinets
