I wish that I could charge that much to my customers and get away with it.

I know if I had time I could have gotten away with quite a bit less. But in the long run I am back in business and all is well.

Believe it or not, the big part of this cost was the 45 crimp fitting. Next time, see if you can get away with a straight crimp fitting and buy a 45 street fitting.
