While the actual “plumbing” part is easy, diagnosing a particular problem, I think, is a fucking bitch and a half. What we first thought was a venting problem, I’m now thinking is something more akin to the problems we were having around Christmastime, in that the main is actually blocked, and needs to be snaked. This is about the most unpleasant thing I could imagine, to be perfectly honest, given what the contents of the last drain snaking were. That, coupled with the fact that our toilet gasket needs replacing… well, I figure doing both in one shot is the way to go, but it’s going to be a very, very unpleasant experience. *sigh*
Regardless, my apologies to the plumbers of the world. Simple pipe repair, no problem. Plumbing as a profession… christ. I understand why they’re paid the big bucks, let’s just leave it at that.
I’ll dive into all manner of DIY type projects, but I wont go near anything plumbing related. It probably has to do with a plumbing project that I witnessed, when I was a kid, that went horribly wrong. So much water…
I’m glad you avoided making a scatty entry.

LOL, I was going to say, that plumbing is hard as hell. The easy stuff is few and far between. Especially since so much of it is hidden and covered in shit, literally.
Sure, fixing a pipe that’s out in the open, or changing a part of your sink/toilet is no big deal, but that’s not why plimbers get paid so much. It’s all the stuff that requires them to climb behind your toilet or go check a pipe out in your yard to see what the hell is wrong.
