and of course many residential plumbers/electricians charge a 2 hour minimum labor fee just for showing up to your house. that can be $100 or more just for them to pull into the driveway.

Danzig,
You are correct about the price of copper. It's through the roof.
As far as your idea about plumbing vs electric, I prefer electric. Plumbing is just very frustrating to me. I always have "do overs". At least with electrical stuff, at the end of the day, my hands are clean. If there's anything scarey, I just pop the main breaker, though I admit, at times I've worked in a hot box.

Hey Cajun,
You are too funny!
