Meanwhile im in shape, strong as an ox, and make more than most people and only had to go to college 4 years. Here's before.

And you went to college for four years to learn that shit runs down?

As a contractor I can say that I can sweat pipes together, thats not the hard part. Having everything line up when trimmed out or have everything neat and orderly in the utility room is the hard part.
A skilled tradesman is worth their weight in gold.  |

To be more precise, I don't touch anything that has been used, if its been shit in you can call a house plumber.

Cool story bro.
Cubicle rats look down on people look down on those who work in the trades. Its a fact of life. People might understand what you do if you said that you are a pipefiter. Then you wouldn't have to start stupid threads in GD. In before the Union call out. |

Not a plumber but I can measure, cut and thread pipe like a Mo Fo.
Can't use no sissy piping in my line of work.
Seriously, looks good but I much prefer threaded pipe and fittings. |

Im non union, if I was union it would have taken 14 years to learn what I do.
And I would be called a pipefitter not a plumber if I was union. Instead im the lone plumber of the apocalypse, defender of pestilence and strife. Protector of the health of a nation T |

Victauilic fittings suck for the end user / builder owner. Any seismic action and I expect several thousand Vic joints to fail in my hospital and 5000gpm fire pumps to soak the rest. Had an idiot pop a head today patching around a head. I have a few hundred valves and a many dry valves and deluges.

I have a license that allows me to put waste lines and water lines in a house. But I've only ever plumbed one house, want a mechanical room done? Call me.....want a house plumbed, go find the guy scrounging up work in the plumbing section of home depot, odds are he will do it cheaper and faster. T |
