As you state it costs 78 cents to run your pipe. So for 1000 feet of pipe I am saving $500. Now that is a considerable difference in costs. Now I know for a fact that I can run by myself more than 1000 feet of wire, pipe, and wire tie it in less than a day. But it is hard for me to make $500 working out anywhere in a day. I just dont see the savings. Now I know that your comparisons are to other blue pipe, but as I dont use blue pipe I have to compare it to what I use.
Thank you
