9. I have a rule of thumb. Three trips to the hardware/plumbing store for plumbing work

1 trip = I'm ecstatic.

2 = I'm happy

3 = ok

4 = cranky asshole

5 = nuclear. And expensive cause I just buy everything on the fucking aisle and hope for a match.

I do remodeling. I'm not a plumber but I will do hookups of new fixtures I install. I'll even build new showers from scratch.

Where it gets really tricky is working with old work. I'm getting better with it but it still gets tricky sometimes.

I recently agreed to reinstall some radiators we pulled out for a new floor in a kitchen and bath I did. Why not I figured. Save the customer some time and money. It was a 6 plus. I stil have a bunch of fittings I never returned. And a $25 dollar "spud wrench" I had to buy. Maybe I'll get the hernia fixed some day. Lol.
