I'm a self-employed contractor and this was the biggest job I've done so far. I guess this still counts as DIY since I did it all by myself? (except for the electric)

Oh that's neato bonito! Local laws here require fasteners every few inches/feet for electrical and plumbing. They take the pex and clamp it to the inner wall studs. Any leaks then mean that you have to re-do the wall.

The protective outer sleeve is clamped down here as well but you can still pull out the inner pipe. It's not alway the easiest job but it can be done.
