Take your time ZackI would try and find an old school father and son plumbing contractor in your town and get some quotes,,,be friendly and nice,,,plumbers go 100 yards for a nice clientAlso consider stopping by 3 of the biggest plumbing supply houses in your town and ask for a refferal on a good honest freindly family owned plumbing contractor who pays his billls on time,,,,,,good place to startAnd most important ,get a flat rate quote for the job,,,never pay a firm by the hour,,,its a loser,everybodys looking over there shoulder,,wondering how long its gonna take,,,,,get a quote and relax,,,,Hope that helpsDD in L.A.

I did see someone who blew their shoulder out on impact.
