There is nothing worse than an infernal mobile home. You have to go to places that specialize in parts for mobile homes to work on plumbing. I guess that standard fare stuff would have been too easy. Cheap does not describe them. I've begun recipricating the favours and time investments that my neighbours spent on helping me on my house. Theirs is a mobile home, and you'd be shocked to find out how little material there is in them.

Plumbing itself isn't really all that hard. I think the worst is trying to reuse older pipes. We fought for quite a while to get the PVC pipes to not leak under my kitchen sink. As for assembling new stuff, it's all a matter of knowing what you need, and making sure you brought the right stuff home. The rest is a matter of assembly. Electrical wiring bothers me alot more, and even that is simply a matter of paying attention to the color of the wires, and verifying them with an outlet tester.
