Easy DIY Plumbing

I think by far the best part of diy plumbing is the enormous amount of money you can save. I think some plumbers (I know there are lots of honest ones too) take advantage of the "un-handyman" by charging stupid amounts of money for relatively easy tasks.

You may know this from experience (I do, why do you think I learned what I learned?) that these guys charge more than you probably make working for 2 hours just to walk up the path to your house! Then it takes like 20 minutes to do the job and you have to apply for a loan to pay the bill!

Don't get me wrong, plumbing is an extremely skilled trade, I just think that if you are going to spend the money, let them do the hard stuff. You can handle most plumbing jobs around the house.
