yeah well I dont like having bills, that means I have to go to work.
To me, a plumber is worth every fucking penny.
I don't mind all sorts of home ownership aspects, but plumbing is right out.
Luckily I dont have to touch it very often
My house is pretty new, but has some pretty complicated plumbing. So, there's all the more reason to not touch it. I've only needed an immediate plumber once and that was a problem down at the pump house. A regulator died, as I recall.
I have an artesian well with high pressure output (sometimes, it depends on the water table but it has constant pressure) and that has to be regulated or it'd blow my plumbing to shit. A few days after it rains, it has enough pressure to blow faucets off their fixtures. (If you don't know what an artesian well is, it basically means I'm hooked right into a shitton of water under pressure.)
So, that's why I have a pump house. It doesn't really pump water so much as it regulates the natural water flow. There's usually enough pressure to not need any additional pumping.
