One plumber, no crack
If my ever expanding foray into the field of plumbing and the first home repair on my two week vacation, I replaced the rubber gasket in the sprinkler control valve. As usual, the tool was more expensive than the replacement parts. Luckily, I tried replacing the gaskets rather than the sprinkler assembly itself ($42.00 each). This job only took a few minutes too, not like the shower job which turned 10 minutes into 6 hours.
If you could be any type of contractor, what would you be? Perhaps a plumber.
