Well I thought the water would be easy. Turn off house water, cut existing copper 1/2" pipe, install sharkbite tee to tap the line. Well, the sharkbite tee leaked. And I had a conference call starting in 1 hour and no water in the house and wife was trying to make dinner. So, ran back to the hardware store. Turns out there is a type of sharkbite made specifically for copper pipe. It works better than the generic sharkbite, for that application. $8 and some cussing later, we have a leak free tap and the house is harmonius again. After my call I'll finish running the poly line.
