>> What I like about being a plumber is your problem-solving skills are put
to the test often.
And it's, so you'll be in a tight spot.
Because anybody can put the pipes together on a bench in a vice in a workhouse.
You know, in a, you know, in their tool room, whatever.
It's easy.
But in plumbing you have to crawl into a crawl space.
And getting there to the problem is sometimes the hardest part.
And it's almost like, you know, I was on a job in DC, where it was an existing building.
And they had built a floor on top of a floor on top of a floor.
And we had to get into this crawl space underneath it.
Several hundred years old.
This is right down Connecticut Avenue in old DC.
And when you're rehabbing old buildings, historical buildings,
you see stuff that you just would never have seen.
You end up in situations where you really, there is, usually there's more
than one way to do something right.
But the harder the job gets, there are fewer ways to do it right.
And it becomes a challenge actually.
You feel like you did something that was, you know, hard and difficult.
I like waking up in the morning with a job to do.
You know, something that you can get into, I like driving around the town.
You get to see the city you work in.
If you're a plumber, you're not going to be chained to a desk for 30, 40 years.
You're going to get to know the city that you live in.
Whether it's, you know, DC.
Phoenix. L.A. Wherever you might be, you're going to get to know that town.
You're going to know, oh, I know, you know, you get to explore the city going
to all these different calls, different buildings.
Which is fun for me.
I like to get out and be around.
See things.
See the community.
