Interesting thread
My dad worked for the city as pipe water repairmen for 25 years. He repaired the water pipes under the streets and as he gained experienced, he supervised others on the job. When he retired from the city, he started his own plumbing company, a one man operation. I would love to have the expertise in plumbing (also some heating/cooling, electricity, carpentry, auto mechanics, and general home repair that he has, but I'm not the most mechanically inclined. But, what he has taught me, is invaluable.

will.
