No pun intended?
I HATE plumbing. I hooked up an outdoor sink last weekend. Drain was PITA to put together, covering an angle and some longer distance. All buttoned up, tight no leaks - happy DIY plumber ... This weekend - leaking like a sieve. WTF?
Of course I don't have a choice. A good plumber charges major bucks. It is worth my time (I usually need $50 / h for something I don't enjoy to not farm it out).
I installed a costco water saver toiled for $85 a year ago. That went well. Full refund by the water company.
