Most times I've seen plastic pipe installed by the homeowner, it was
because they were scared witless at the thought of sweat soldering copper
joints and figured the plastic installation was idiot proof. Hint: it's
not. Price is usually quoted as the deciding factor in favor of plastic
when they have gotten installation estimates from someone who's not afraid
of sweating and priced it accordingly. "Outrageous!" They say. "I'll buy
some plastic and do it myself". Crappy is often made rather than born.
