Ha!So what you are saying is that a mediocre plumber makes more than a physician that has spent 7-10 years in schools to gain a medical license? Somehow that doesn't seem right but I still don't want to pay an MD $200-$300 for medical advise and an Rx.
They are a specialized industry. I know because I used to be a technician. Our hourly rate was $110 an hour two hour minimum. I understand the FLIR cost them money to buy sn I probably paid for it in this one instance. I also know I could not physically do the same job all three of them did in one half day. It would have taken me about three days by myself and a $50 crimper for PEX plus pipe and fittings. I also know I cannot sweat a copper pipe to save my butt. I have tried on multiple occasions and never got it right. Getting on my knees or stomach is another impossible thing. I'd have to call 911 just to get back up.
The lines from my water heater to the laundry and kitchen are over top and both froze when we had that great northern blow in this winter. I wouldnt want them all in the atic.
Ha!
A doctor found a water leak in his basement, so he called a plumber. The plumber took about 5 minutes to tighten a fitting and stop the leak. He presented the doctor with a bill for $100.
"$100 for 5 minutes work?" exclaimed the doctor, "That's $1200 per hour! I'm a brain surgeon and don't make that much!"
The plumber replied, "I didn't make that much when I was a brain surgeon either..."
Couldn’t agree more. Ask the THOUSANDS and thousands of Texans that wish they had not done it. It just makes no sense to have water in ones attic. Cold day in hell for me.
With PEX under slab (what I have) it will be here after the house is gone. The 2 short lines in the atic that froze were also under insulation so I'm having a hard time understanding why you think its a good idea?It makes sense when it’s all under the slab and it has to be replaced. You can add more insulation on top.. I had zero problems and haven’t had one in 10 years.
