needed a water pipe repl about 3 elbows from metre to house @ 20 mtres
what u think it cost in copper. arrrghhh ???

use inch poly, screw on fittings, olive compression onto the house pipe. Most of the cost is in the digging, make it cheaper by doing that

$1064 later u tell me

scam
i aint even got the detailed bill but my agent paid the plumber.
Am getting a new agent and a new plumber.
any takers ?

thats not a bad price Karmen, digging a 20 mtr trench in this heat, 20 mtrs of copper pipe, fit off, make good, put lawn back.....

Id have used an excavator for about 4 hrs @ $100ish/hr IF I could have got one, most dudes have packed up over xmas.

3 lengths 6mtr copper, the time @ $80/hr

That could have been a b@$tard all day job...... or a real easy one but I doubt it.

Luck with the agent, have yet to find a good one, I manage ours myself.
