Supply pipes

Finally, all copper pipes are connected. I had to make corrections to the first plumber's stub outs. His work was not code compliant (discovered prior to inspections, which will come after the gas pipes go in). Heights, spacing and anchoring were all wrong. That made for some interesting turns in the final pipework.

Also to my dismay, as I remember asking him, he doesn't deburr the inside of cut tubes, while I file mine down meticulously and noticed how restrictive it gets otherwise. It may not matter except for longevity of the copper pipes. Long term studies have shown that water turbulence from the restrictions adds unnecessary erosion.

It's about half of all the new fittings.

Oh well.
