This could be work or recreational related. Anything you’ve done that you sit back and go “hell yeah I did that”. I’m typically wary of working on cars because I have big hands and no auto specialty tools. But, I was able to make a pretty involved (for me) repair last week and I’ve felt really great about it since. What about you?

    I think it depends on the job. In house cast iron sewer line replacements are only a few steps in difficulty above swapping a sink, not counting the muscle you need to move them, assuming you’re swapping to PVC.

      I have a decent bit of pipe fitting under my belt. I really only call my plumber if it has to do with gas (like my stove). Pipes that move water, no problem. I try not to fuck with electric systems at all though.

      He went over instead of under the French drain lines because he was digging with a shovel. Now it’s not deep enough to allow proper drainage from a new bar sink. Awaiting next plumber’s ideas.
