I’m familiar with the work you’ve done, I respect you, and I know you know that this is a ridiculous and argument. You can walk into any hardware store and buy a new toilet, and the installation instructions are included. Its dead simple. IKEA furniture is often more difficult.
- saagarjha 3y agoI don’t think it’s ridiculous, but perhaps I haven’t fully explained my position? I have never installed a toilet but I’m confident that I could go into a store and buy one, and the instructions are probably straightforward. That said, I would probably still call a plumber because the risk of me doing it wrong seems uncomfortably high, and I could end up with a smelly mess or thousands of dollars in water damage.
- fingerlocks 3y agoAnd my position is that teaching you to install a toilet without causing water damage by turning the shutoff valve 90 degrees is in no way comparable to teaching c-suites to code.
- nforgerit 3y agoI'd love to see a suit fixing his toilet
- saagarjha 3y agoThe water damage would occur over months and years, eventually requiring an expensive remodel and repair of the floor underneath. Not a personal story because I don’t own a home but, you know, it happens.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoYour comparison is wrong Installing a toilet is more like wroting a bash/shell script that is 99% googleable - most people can figure it out in a weekend Writing a whole applocation is more like doing plumbing for an industrial installation. that handles hangerous chemicals
- lostmsu 3y agoThat may be true but that's not the type of plumber people think about when you just say "plumber".
