Vash, plumbing isn't that hard. Granted, I didn't repipe my house, but depending on the age of the house and where the piping is run, its not always that hard. The bad thing is that it will certainly take you much longer. For example, the piping in my roof is mostly in the attic and walls. The plumbers would open the wall at the emergency valve behind a sink, cut it off and cut the pipe off in the attic and just pull it out. Then they'd shove a new one in and resolder top and bottom, and knock a hole or two in the drywall to install a hold down clamp.
