I suppose I never finished the story. CC and the workmen came over at around 10 a.m. on Monday. It wasn't quite as simple as I had hoped. CC wanted to put a shutoff valve in our apartment. So she called the plumber, and we waited a few hours for him to show. CC waited in her car for a bit, and then we watched some early Seinfeld episodes together. Finally, the plumber arrived, and they spent some time trying to figure out how to put a shutoff valve in our apartment. The plumber gave CC an estimate (which was larger than she thought), and she decided not to do it for a while. Then the workmen fixed the drywall, and moved the washer/dryer back to its place.

Overall, it only took about 5 hours. Relatively quick...

5 hours for a shutoff valve installation is not bad at all. I've seen situations where plumbers have a hard time outfitting those kind of valves in places that were never designed to get outfitted by shutoff valves. I assume the cost is appropiate for work time and installation quality.
