My family is full of tradesmen.
My Grandfather was a welder plus blacksmith plus had quite a bit of labor as an independent business before he went to labor for a single of the major auto manufacturing companies in the northern midwest. My Mom was an electrician after working as a carpenter for a number of years building homes. I tried to absorb as many skills as I possibly could over the years from the people surrounding myself and others in my life. My aunt was a DIY enthusiast plus built everything from go-karts to trebuchets in his large backyard. There was a large barn that actually had a basement with a driveable ramp on a single end leading down to it. It was a barn built for auto repair, however my aunt used it as a large workshop. I enjoyed spending time at my aunt’s lake house because that’s where I l acquired how to use a myriad mix of hand tools plus power tools. The projects he involved myself and others in were also exciting plus attention-grabbing for someone my age. But it was the plumbing labor that he taught myself and others that benefited myself and others the most because that’s where most of my attention is focused these days. I’m a handyman, however most of the labor I do is plumbing related. I make a lot of money on calls to make basic leak repairs. Who hasn’t had a concern with a simple plumbing leak before? Even before I l acquired plumbing as a trade, I ran into plumbing complications love anyone else. Sometimes my clients are ashamed of themselves for calling me, although I assure them that everyone needs this kind of help!
