Thin privilage saved me hundreds of dollars... Had a kitchen drain pipe leak / break under my house. Dishwater was, essientially, culminating under my home instead of draining out the main drain.  This required me to dig out the access point and squeeze through a hole, then navigate in a cramped space, to replace an 8 foot piece of PVC pipe. All in all, it cost me 2 hours of time and $26 in parts for the pipe, couplings, hangers, screws, and pvc cement.  Had I been a fat bastard, I'd have had to pay a thin person to do it. Considering the stinky, muddy mess of it all, I'd have charged a thousand dollars at least.  I'm sure the fat bastard solution would have involved some giant hole in my floor instead.
