    Looks good! I generally don't fly the copper as you did in the 3rd pic. Just my opinion though.

    Yes, looks good! I meant the 1" copper pipe where it's going at about 20 degrees or so (that pipe is 'flying'). It's just my opinion, and when it comes to running pipe i have many :) I would have tried to keep that horizontal, then perhaps rolling (or 'flying' as i call it) the pex into the 'straight' copper. Or, double-45ing the copper to get up to the same plane as the pex.
    Being a plumber from the 80's, I've had to stare at many piping routes. Heat and water pipes can go in any direction, drain pipes can not, and going through joists and studs thousands of times make me a critical thinker.

    Isn't that an AO Smith water heater in picture # 2 ? Must have been prior to your boycott eh...

    It's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.
