needed a water pipe repl about 3 elbows from metre to house @ 20 mtres

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.
