  1. The video production is on point! As a previous videographer I’m impressed with the investment you’ve put into your work documentation. Keep up the great work. I interviewed today as a plumbing helper sick of a desk job went to school for business and looking for a career change working hands on.

  2. Little trick on those sensors if you undo the nut and break off the tiny sensor wiring then slide that thermistor as far into the thermostat as you can then tighten it back up and it’ll keep working. Most of them will work that way forever. Rheem must’ve had a bad bunch bc I’ve had the same issue a lot here lately even on my new installs.

  3. I am studying HVAC right now and plumber is one of the jobs I could have. I just have some basic questions. Compared to other HVAC trades where'd you put it on a 1-10 difficulty scale, what does the pay look like, what days do we usually get off?

  4. I'm white collar and considering switching to a blue collar job like plumbing. Yes, it can be physically demanding work but sitting a cubicle staring at a computer is rotting my brain.

  6. So gay. Yes. If you are a plumber, you will regularly contemplate your life’s choices. You will constantly be told how worthless you are by your boss and home owners alike. Have fun
