And called my plumber to fix a leaking supply valve in the bathroom of the rental I'm working on. Normally an easy job where I would hang my head in shame for calling in a pro, but this is the second time on an "easy" plumbing issue where I saved my bacon by wimping out, and the plumber earned his money.
In this case, a twenty year old gate valve on galvanized pipe. This plumber does all my rentals and I absolutely trust him, so when he told me I made a wise decision, I know he was being honest. He was grunting and cussing like a sailor before he got the old one off, and if it was me, I would have likely gotten mad, overexerted the wrenches, and busted something behind the drywall.
The previous time I suspended my man card was at my home I recently sold when I put a new water heater in about a year ago. I installed the one that was there when I moved in, but a little voice told me, "just pay the plumber for the new one." Again a wise choice, because it took that plumber over four hours, again because of seized valves from the crappy water there. He ended up giving up and cutting the old ones off, leaving about an inch of copper on one side for him to solder onto sticking out of the drywall. He was also not a happy camper, but I was happy to pay for the extra hours of frustration I didn't have to go through. :)
Anyway, I'm learning more and more that I don't have to fix every damn thing myself, and am happy to take the hits on my man card.
