My dad was a carpenter, and I think they were always a little jealous of the plumbers. Plumbers always worked out of a "shop", so had their tools furnished. Carpenters were pretty much free-lancers, had to buy their own tools, etc. The joke among carpenters was that plumbers didn't have to be very bright- all they had to know was that stuff runs downhill and payday is on Friday.
Now that I do my own plumbing repairs (usually), I think they earn their money. What a wet, cold and sometimes smelly business.
I had a frost-free hydrant by the well, in the line that goes to the barn. The weight of the hydrant (and leverage from turning it off and on) eventually cracked the PVC pipe it was connected to. I dug it all up, replaced PVC with galvanized for a foot on each side of hydrant to give it a little more resistance to movement, replaced another valve, moved some pipes, put in some unions, etc., etc.- turned out to be quite a project.
Finally got it all done, no leaks, and decided to put a steel fence post by the hydrant and lash it to the post, to secure it. About 6 inches below the level of my repair, I put the fence post spade right through another plastic pipe.
