Well, I knew I could re-route my gas line by myself but I have an adult music student who is a plumber and we agreed to exchange music lessons for plumbing help. So, we moved my range across the kitchen and did the gas plumbing. I learned a few things:
-even a guy who has been plumbing for 35 years cusses like a sailor when things don't go exactly right.
-a pipe threader is the coolest damn gadget ever invented. For plumbing anyway.
-you can never have too much teflon tape on hand.
-mount plumbing up high in the 18" crawl space so future plumbers can get in there to work
-don't let yourself get too chubby to slide under the girders. not me.
-plumbing may not be brain surgery, but it sure is hard work. $70 an hour, what a deal!
