minor plumbing tasks sure, changing gaskets is pretty simple stuff though., but for major ones you need to know how to cut pipe, braze, or even weld. how many people do you know who have brazing equipment just lying around?
those aren't really easy/everyday things.
I've never heard of anyone needing to braze or weld pipe for house plumbing. Most of the time you're soldering copper or gluing PVC. And soldering copper pipe is fairly easy. You can learn it with a 3 minute Youtube video, a $50 trip to the hardware store, and a few practice runs. Compared to a hiring/scheduling a plumber it's way quicker and cheaper.
Just remember to shut off your main line before working, and to test the pipes when you're done before walking away
Nobody said this had to be easy/everyday things.
