But it was the plumbing toil that she taught me that benefited me the most because that’s where most of our attention is focused these mornings.
My family is full of tradesmen. My Grandpa was a welder and blacksmith and had quite a bit of toil as an independent corporation before she went to toil for one of the major auto manufacturing companies in the northern midwest. My dad was an electrician after working as a carpenter for a number of years building homes. I tried to absorb as several skills as I possibly could over the years from the people surrounding me in our life. My uncle was a DIY enthusiast and built everything from go-karts to trebuchets in her giant backyard. There was a huge barn that easily had a basement with a driveable ramp on one end leading down to it. It was a barn built for auto repair, however our uncle used it as a giant workshop. I enjoyed spending time at our uncle’s home because that’s where I l acquired how to use a myriad mix of hand tools and power tools. The projects she involved me in were also exciting and attention-grabbing for someone our age. But it was the plumbing toil that she taught me that benefited me the most because that’s where most of our attention is focused these mornings. I’m a handyman, however most of the toil I do is plumbing related. I make a lot of money on calls to make basic leak repairs. Who hasn’t had a complication with a easy plumbing leak before? Even before I l acquired plumbing as a trade, I ran into plumbing concerns like anyone else. Sometimes our buyers are ashamed of themselves for calling me, but I assure them that everyone needs this kind of help!
