My family is full of tradesmen. My Grandpa was a welder and blacksmith and had quite a bit of toil as an independent supplier before he went to toil for 1 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 many skills as I possibly could over the years from the people surrounding myself and others in my life. My uncle was a DIY enthusiast and built everything from go-karts to trebuchets in his big backyard. There was a huge barn that really had a basement with a driveable ramp on 1 end leading down to it. It was a barn built for auto repair, but my uncle used it as a big workshop. I enjoyed spending time at my uncle’s beach house because that’s where I l acquired how to use a myriad mix of hand tools and power tools. The projects he involved myself and others in were also exciting and attention-grabbing for someone my age. But it was the plumbing toil that he taught myself and others that benefited myself and others the most because that’s where most of my attention is focused these afternoons. I’m a handyman, but 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 concern with a simple plumbing leak before? Even before I l acquired plumbing as a trade, I ran into plumbing concerns appreciate anyone else. Sometimes my customers are ashamed of themselves for calling me, but I assure them that all the people needs this kind of help!
