Yes. I regularly solder 0.5mm and 0.63mm pitch stuff by hand at work.

No. I take all the stuff i want to solder to work and do it there.
Although i have equipment at home that would allow me to get everything
soldered with a reasonable confidence, the equipment at work allows me
to get it working for sure. And being able to check the solder points
under a microscope is a nice thing, before you fry something because
of a short that you havent seen. :-)
We have a reflow oven at work as well, but we hardly ever use it,
as we get better results by hand than with the oven.
> Set up to do it in the basement
Yes, but not well, see above.
Ok, i have to relativate here, i'm not well equipped in reference
to a professional lab. For a hobbist, i have quite good stuff.

Yes

500 pins? That's probably a day or two for me. Depending on the layout
and the exact mix of components.
