I had to do some plumbing work a few years ago and quite enjoyed solving the puzzle and completing the work myself. It did remind me a lot of my day job in tech. No individual part of the job is all that difficult but planning and executing everything properly, and all the cryptic/arcane knowledge required, was very similar. And just like when one of my networks or systems is down the work had to be completed quickly to resolve the outage.
