Whatever it is it ain't enough. Crawled under a house I recently bought that had a plumbing leak. After 4 hours of wallowing in what I keep telling myself was mud, I finally got it fixed. Glad to have the issue resolved but for the plumbers out there, my hat is off to you.
I became a lectrician because I HATE plumbing and painting!!!
You know it's done right when you do it yourself.
You will find out what they make when you get that bill.
This neurosurgeon was havin a party and just before the guest were to arrive the guest bathroom COMODE stopped up. He called a plumber. The plumber fixed it in minutes. Gave the bill to the Dr... $500. The Dr looked at the bill and said #%€%# I don't make that kinda money..... The plumber said, I didn't either when I was a Doctor...
Mo I tell ya, I pretty much got patience for painting, framing, cabinetry, or anything else to do with Constr , but when it's comes to plumbing, you couldn't pay me enuf, glad I got a guy that works for me that don't mind it.
i found out real quick if you have to ask how much they make a hour you can't afford it.....
I called a buddy of mine and priced the job just out of curiosity, was knocking on the door of $1,000. I may be in the wrong profession
YOU CAN PUT AIR CONDITIONING /HEATING FOLKS IN THE NOT PAID ENOUGH PILE ALSO . SPEND 1 HR. IN AN ATTIC WHILE IT WAS 100 DEGREE OUTSIDE AND YOU WILL SEE WHY . LOL INSTANT DIET PROGRAM .:biggrin
did it smell like mud
Man I scratched my backyard up and threw some seed on it and went and turned the sprinklers to it and went to turn my hydrant on and it broke the nipple where it t's up to the hydrant. Dang rebar wasn't deep enough and it snapped right off. I hate plumbing and nobody was open to get a new hydrant so I capped it and gonna have to do some more plumbing next weekend!
They can usually fix it in a few minutes and then I think they take a nap for about a hour!Laying on your back in a 2 ft. crawl space just ain't fun. Glad you got it fixed.
It can be worse... A buddy's lab puppy played tug-o-war with the hose until he ripped the spigot out of the wall of the house, behind the bricks.Quote:

Go inside the house and either remove a sheet of paneling or cut a hole in the dry wall.....repair plumbing then fix wall back.Quote:

hydrant, feelay plays with them. https://www.google.com/search?q=hydr...w=1366&bih=640
spigot, ah you mean hose bibb and nipple. https://www.google.com/search?q=hose...w=1366&bih=640
One of my houses, the whole block was built by the same contractor, must have used the same plumber. Must have left his tape measure home those days. None of the houses have a front hose bibb and every house the rear hose bibb is out from the brick 3 or more inches.
whatever they make--electricians should make MORE
