There is a whole lot I don't like about how you did that, but I'm not a plumber, so to each their own. Why so much galvanized piping? I would have switched to a brass shutoff valve at the main, then used a dielectric union ontop of that to go to all copper. And you installed a PR, but didn't install gauges to check to see if its working.
also, what made you think your pressure was too high?
Not really expecting it to burst apart, but I'm periodically checking to see if there's seepage etc.
Next up - connecting all the plumbing and drains for the kitchen I'm putting in downstairs, then probably a new water heater.
