Of course not just anyone can call themselves a plumber.   I believe it is a licensed skill with several years of apprenticeship under a master plumber?   Anyone can put a shingle and call themselves a piano tuner.   I've got to think there is a difference....oh, boy, have I opened a can of worms...;-]
