After years of clean, light gauge fab, this type of shit would do my head in. Even when I'd run "heavy gauge" it was 1/4 to 1/2 inch max and we'd just crank up to spray transfer and fill with one pass.

Burn’ Rod!

Yeah in 1980 they said we would all have flying cars in 30 years. Where is my damn flying car? This is an even bigger disappointment than the Santa Clause thing.

What about Santa?

Slept 12 hours last night. Installed a water heater yesterday and my entire body was screeming at me. Took a flexril, a motrin, 2 caps and a handful of leg cramp pills. I was a wreck. I stopped at a couple grocery stores on the way home and my arm muscles were contracting and pulling my ring fingers aginst my palms. I had to literally move them back stright and fight to keep them there. I looked like I was throwing gang sings or suffering from cerebral palsy legs weren't much better. I almost feel human this morning and starting the day with a full teaspoon of oil for my coffee

I forgot how physically demanding plumbing is and found out the hard way my body is no longer in shape. I use to get asked offten if I went to the gym. I'd laugh and say no, I just plum, but the most satisfying element of plumbing is helping people and I was able to save a 91 year old man on a fixed income about $1500+ and that makes it all worth it

I drive a cab. Was a chef for 30 years but when I came here I just felt like doing something else. Also pay is better, which surprises a lot of people. Since people started using cards tips have gone down radically. Also I like talking to people and I can have my own business.

I have been offered ponani as payment, but ponani don't pay bills.

My neigher is in Figueira da Foz, Portugal. Snagged a boyfriend there You're closer than I, every been to visit?

 

[expat]

You should move to Portugal @PlumberSoCal2 It'll do wonders on your joints with the climate and the food. A lot of Americans move here. I didn't have much money, I just had a plan, and I'll give it to you right here; Transport. I bet you got a driver's license, even if not there's mopeds or whatever.

Yessir! I have visited pretty much everywhere, that's a perk of driving for a living

 

[expat]

These two brothers, late teens, American kids, who lives here has a food delivery gig on mopeds. You want a pizza you call them and they'll pick it up for you and they go grocery shopping for people who are disabled or alcoholics and such. Those boys have a lot of stories and they make more money than their parents.

I wish but we're not going anywhere at this point. We discussed Tennessee for over a decade then got old. I too would recommend others at least go and see the world. I wish I had seen more

 

[expat]

They make more money than me too, lol. But I don't think I have seen them off their mopeds in a year.

 

[expat]

Good job America, you raised a lot of good kids over there

 

[expat]

Also you raised the island boys.

Are you staying properly hydrated and getting enough potassium? Sounds horrible Ive had some similar issues when I pushed myself too much I can’t eat bananas so my potassium has to come from leafy greens for the most part. Ever thought about hiring a younger kid to help with the real heavy stuff. I have had to hire my younger brother to help me with extremely heavy orders for delivery.
