Today I am a plumber. My buddy Michael is helping me out. The old big nasty cement laundry tub was removed and a smaller plastic tub was installed. This involved moving the supply lines back to the wall about ten inches and hooking up a new drain. The water to the house (the main) had to be shut off because the main shut off valve inside the house was stripped. This also had to be replaced, which involved a new section of pipe and a new shut-off that won't strip. The city came out and turned the water on and off for free and with very prompt service.
