Default How do tradesmen earn a living?

I've just fitted a new tap to our kitchen sink. It took me nearly 4

instructions on the rather complicated Bristan Easyfit tap. Great taps,
awful instructions.

But 4 hours! I'd expect to pay a plumber no more than £100-150, and that
might well include coming to quote first.


I reckon if you did the same job again in a week it'd take you 2 hours, once
more an hour.

Leave it a year, you'll be back to 4 hours ;-)
