About six years ago we had our kitchen COMPLETELY redone- floor to ceiling.
The final installation was the new dishwasher.
I tend to not bother service people when they work- just let them know I'm available for any kind of help- lifting/moving things- coffee- snack/sandwich.
Anyway, the plumber doing the install called up from the basement to let me know he was just about done.
I looked outside as he was packing his gear back into his truck, and I see about a half dozen, six foot lengths of copper pipe. I'm, like, WHAT?
I didn't even know what PEX was, and hadn't discussed replacing any of my then current plumbing with it- but that's what he did.
The damage (?) was done so I saw no value in getting into an argument with the guy- However, I still think he ripped me off for the salvage price of the copper piping.
Live and learn.
