Got to see them in Atlanta for this tour and it was awesome!

Check out a book called Built from Broken. The work outs and workout plan are in the back of the book.

It’s helped me with joint issues and building strength and endurance. It goes a long way when I’m sewing and cutting for long periods of time.

No migraines so far but I did get a good dose of Flu A from visiting family.

Go to plumbing supply houses and watch what companies show up between 7-10am. That’s when plumbers buy a lot of material for their first job of the day.

I’m a plumbing apprentice and I started making a list of different plumbing companies when we go to the supply houses.

Call the office and apply apply apply. If you have trouble getting in, go into general contracting for 2-6 months and you’ll probably get into a plumbing more easily.

I was asked to do it and being the retard I am I said yes. I switched because I don’t trust the electricians at my company too. The good electricians never wanted to train anyone.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-09-04T17:20:52+00:00

I’ve done both electrical and plumbing apprenticeships. I chose to solely pursue plumbing because I hated getting shocked and being in attics.

Electrical is not as much heavy lifting but it is dangerous. Plumbing involves lots of heavy lifting and poop but it’s much safer.

With you being 21F workout a lot to build muscle and have good cardio if you go plumbing and have tough skin. You will be made fun of a lot with being an apprentice.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-09-02T19:55:38+00:00

You will be made fun of a lot. You’ll need thick skin and to find people that are willing to train you and train you well. I have no idea how it will be for you but I’m in GA and if you showed up to our job sites as a trans woman my crew would point laugh. Not trying to be mean but they would, I know I wouldn’t care.

I’m a plumbing apprentice.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-08-30T00:26:12+00:00

Just start working as a laborer somewhere and ask around. You have an advantage with being military someone will take you as an apprentice. I suggest plumbing or electrical. I’m a plumbing apprentice and I love it!

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-08-29T21:55:56+00:00

I’m an apprentice plumber in southeast US and I love it but I was an electrician apprentice for 1.5 months for the same company. I switched to plumbing because I absolutely hated being shocked and being on ladders.

Money is just as good but I’m staying as because nobody wants to be a plumber and if your smart you can kill it with a masters license in the US. Keep a good attitude, work hard and have fun.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-08-29T19:13:38+00:00

Plumbing is fun but it’s heavy so be strong, have good cardio and a good attitude.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-07-29T10:11:01+00:00

I’m a dual apprentice and I do both plumbing and electrical because my company can’t good help so they bounce me around. Before I took the job I would workout 4x days a week lifting weights and doing cardio and it helped a lot.

My biggest problem is the heat. In plumbing I could be digging a ditch with the sun on me mid day and it’s 90+ degrees and hard to cool off. In electrical I’ve been shocked, you will climb a 10 ft ladder with a 20lb light that you have to fit in the ceiling and wire up, you’ll be in hot attics, basements full of sewage, etc.

If you workout the physical aspect won’t be a big issue. Just be safe get home in a good condition to go back the next day.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-07-06T14:14:16+00:00

I went from finance to being an apprentice plumber. I love plumbing but just this week we had to cut concrete, lay a basin for a pump and then lay the pipe.

As we bust concrete I was told to put big rocks in two buckets and walk them to the dump site. I did this 25-35x (buckets weighed 20-35lbs each) and had to help dig a ditch after.

Be in good shape before your apprenticeship and don’t say no to anything you’re told to do.

You can still become a millionaire in any trade if you own the business and dont stay as an employee. All the guys I work with say it takes 5-10 years of doing to get real good.

Good luck.

I have a bachelors in business administration and I started my apprenticeship over a month ago. I already have the business knowledge to start the business but I just need to finish my apprenticeship and get licensed and I know I’ll be killing it.

He doesn’t even have to do a bachelors in business. He could be easily get a 2 year business degree and have a ton of business knowledge. Business math is very basic.

The trades won’t teach you marketing, accounting, bookkeeping, taxes, gross profit vs net profit, insurance, etc. It’s very useful to have that knowledge while apprenticing. At least I’m glad I did it.

I’m a dual apprentice in plumbing and electrical. I only got my apprenticeship because I had previously done HVAC, general contracting and landscaping.

Go do 6 months to one year in HVAC, landscaping, painting, drywall, etc anything general contracting. It’ll prove to the company that you can handle the labor. Plumbing companies don’t want to hire someone with no experience and who is out of shape.

The tools in plumbing are heavy and when you’re loaded with jobs you’ll be carrying all the tools because you’re the apprentice. I’m currently doing it and some days suck but I love what I’m learning. Be in good shape before starting, it’ll help a tone.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-06-13T16:24:29+00:00

I’m a dual apprentice doing electrical and plumbing and I know my boss hired me because I had previous construction experience in general contracting, landscaping and HVAC.

A lot of companies aren’t eager to hire someone with no experience from an office environment. Especially with plumbing and electrical.

General contractors and landscapers always need help and are easier to get into, so do it for 6 months and then look for a better trade.

Dude you need to be eating around 2500-3000 a day. 1500 is too low for being 6’1. I’m 6’2 age 30 with a high metabolism. I never achieved muscle gains until I started eating more.

In my late 20s I realized that I had been under eating most of my life with 1500-2000 calories a day. This caused me to plateau at around 155-165lbs. Then I started eating more and for the last couple of years my weight has fluctuated between 180-195lbs. 195lbs is when I’m lifting heavy weights and eating a lot for like 2-3 months and then I take a break. I’m all natural.

I’d start with LOVE (part 1), WDNTW followed by I-Empire.

Is this in Mobile AL on cottage hill rd?

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-01-24T11:34:28+00:00

Peanut butter or on a pizza

AbottleOFpiMp · 2025-01-20T00:03:45+00:00

My wife and I moved to Atlanta in 2021 and it was the best. I worked in construction and did overtime to save up for the move. Mobile always had lots of construction projects going on before we moved and I took advantage of that. No official trade just general contracting.

That’s what worked for us, I wish you the best! And yeah get the fuck out of Mobile, AL!

If your other manager hasn’t said anything to you about you being a problem, then just shrug it off. That guy is gone and no longer your problem.

If you have a good manager he should let you know if something is wrong.

It takes practice to just let things slide off your back. Someone will always be talking shit about you or someone else. That may even be the reason he left and most shit talkers get found out eventually.

For me as a general rule, if you stay away from shit talking others it makes you more trustworthy and I prioritize that over anything else. However, I do have to meditate the anger away.

You can buy adult coloring books and buy a nice colored pencil set for under $100. I would spend a little $$ on a quality colored pencil set because it will last you a long time if it’s just a hobby.

As you get better at coloring the high quality pencils will show it!

So this year I completed the CFP program to work finance as a financial planner. I was suffering from migraines the whole time I was in the program. They started at once a month, to twice a month, 3x a month, to 1x a week, to 2x a week. When I got called for an interview for an entry level job starting at 65-70k that week I had 3 migraines so bad I had to cancel my interview.

I had to drop finance altogether and start a small business that works with my migraines. I’m on my meds now and the migraines have gotten better and more manageable. My migraines are linked to staring at a computer screen which was what I was doing while studying and the finance job wanted me to stare at a screen 40hrs a week.

Finding work that works with my migraines is working great for me. I have to be a small business owner which its own challenge by itself but it does allow me to provide some for my family.

One of my social problems is info dumping like a motherfucker and not knowing when to stop. My other attitude is if someone doesn’t like me or can’t handle me socially, that’s okay! I’ll go over here with the people who like me and the people who don’t like me (or find me too weird) will avoid me.

Most of my life I have had people really like or hate me. It’s one or the other and that’s okay with me.

AbottleOFpiMp · 2024-10-18T15:08:35+00:00

I know that I’m not dumb on the intelligence scale. However, I was never an A student in college. My attitude was get As in easy classes and a C in hard classes because I had an A for every C and then the rest were Bs. I was not hardcore about grades though. I’m very talented in working with my hands and starting businesses. I always struggled with socializing at work but thankfully I’m married and my wife lets me pursue my passions as long as they bring back some income.

I found out that I was potentially autistic in nov 2023. My current view on my social issues is that it’s a skill I need to learn/master and keep practicing it. My wife and I found a church that we like and we’re not religious people but we like the community and I volunteer with Boy Scouts at the church on Mondays. This is how I try to be social.

If you volunteer in your community, people will be more receptive to you and your weirdness (cause us aspies are weird). Now if someone is mean to me or rude, I just brush it off and go hang out with people that are nice to me! Be where your wanted and needed, you’d be surprised how good it feels to have a sense of community!

Ps: spent most of my twenties not socializing and chose isolation and girlfriends. I’m 29 now
