    Plumbing is Hard Work
    Plumbing is hard work
    Plumbing is dirty, hard work.
    Plumbing is nasty, dirty, hard work.
    Plumbing is frustrating, nasty, dirty hard work.

    Repairing leak in 2" galvanized drain. Leak is at rusted out 45 at end of floor joist with tiled wall and ceiling behind a masonry wall and can't be seen. Have about 1 square foot hole on either side to work through. Accidentally cut water pipe when cutting out drain line. Going to have to rebuild house when I'm through.

    Plumbing is hard work. Plumber need to be paid more.

    It's always the little old lady that you really want to help get away cheap that the job blows up in your face. It's just Murphys Law kicking in. Hang in there Harold! Cheers, Tom

    I thought the only two things you need to know to be a plumber is crap flows downhill, and don't chew your fingernails.

    And plumbers get paid more than electricians. Zap Ouch

    It goes like this;
    Cold water's on the right
    $hit won't flow up hill
    Payday's on Friday
    The boss is a sonofa
    And never, never bite your fingernails after you snake a sewer!
    And plumbers get paid more than electricians.
    You're just jealous because our trade's more glamorous. Eat your heart out!!
