Funny how things work out. Over the weekend, I finally decided to start running some hard line properly, but didn't know how to pay for some pipe. Then on Monday, the plumber at my work said he was gonna throw some away, because it was pre-painted and he didn't have any use for it. I asked him if I could have it and he said heck yeah, keeps him from having to mess with it. 3 sticks of 1" and 2 of 3/4". Painted off-white.
Now I think I have some swearing-er, plumbing in my future.
