Don't think so--you pay through the nose for small plumbing jobs. If the
connection is easy to get at now why live with something that you don't
want? Remove the new one and install what you want.

It was a DIY project gone bad - I attempted to replace an outside hose
connection on my own - a freeze proof type where the stem goes back into
the
wall. As I was trying to get the broken fitting out, it broke off in the
wall and I had to have a plumber come out and finish the work - he had to
go
in through the inside wall (10x10 hole in the sheetrock in the closet) to
get to the fittings, use the torch, etc. The bibb I bought to replace
the
original connection turned out to be an inch or two too long - HD had
different sizes and I bought the wrong size - my mistake - when the
plumber
did the work (I wasn't home), he used the part I had purchased (I left it
by
the work site) instead of just using a part that was the correct size. I
don't want to have to pay again to have the correct size installed, so I'm
willing to live with the connection sticking out from the wall an inch or
two too much - live and learn. I still have to repair the interior
sheetrock and put some mortar in where the pipe comes out through the
brick.

In Dallas, TX, is $184 out of line for this type of job?
