I have a dilemma (I actually have many) but my current one is that I have a problem parting with money. I am setting up the garage as my home brewery, so I am running hot & cold water and natural gas out to the garage. I usually do most of my home improvements myself, but plumbing (outside of sprinkler/drip systems replacing a garbage disposal, or fixing a leak) I don't have much experience with. So I call this plumber guy I have used in the past for an estimate. The guys gives me a time & materials estimate of $250 - $300 for materials (using flex for the gas line, not black pipe), and 4 to 5 hours labor at $100.00 an hour for two guys. So we are talking $800.00 at the outside for parts & labor, plus I am going to drill the 4" hole for the drain through the foundation myself at $ 100.00 for the equipment. Keep in mind my hot/cold water, drain, & gas is 15 feet from my garage via a 4' crawl space. Am I getting gouged here? I figured just having a plumber do the job would save me the time & hassel of doing it myself, but $900 bucks for the plumbing alone is kind of steep IMO or am I just a cheap skate? $900 buck buy alot of beer porn. Anyone have any opinions?
