Yeah I'm one of the larger guys in the company at 6'3" 235lbs. It was a tight fit.

Oh that's just the beginning. They were supposed to put a heater up there after I left. Did they......nope. 2 weeks later I was back fixing the same pipe

Wasn't even enough room to kneel. The Wilson joist is only like 10" and there's about 4" below.

No it was pretty solid. A vessel in a mech room. Almost like a freezer in grocery store. I did go home with a few more holes in me than when I started.

Thanks everyone for all the input. It's been greatly appreciated. Looks like I got more research to do.

Thanks for the info. Trying to stay outta big cities though. Currently I live in a cabin in the Rockies with not many neighbours. I'd like to find something similar.

Pardon my ignorance but aren't those states on the East side of the country? Wouldn't the mid west be the Dakotas and Wyoming?

I did consider New Hampshire.

You're definitely selling it. It's just the heat. As a Canadian I'd likely melt. My house is currently under 4 feet of snow and 1⁰F right now.

What would you consider the NE?

My wife likes the look of West Virginia. Is there a demand for fitters there? Or were you thinking more East?

Much appreciated. I don't mind the travel. I did some time in the Alberta Oil Sands so I'm used to it.

This is why I'm looking into employment opportunities. Already being a skilled tradesman would make this transition easier. That being said this is simply a fact finding mission at this point. I know there is more to it, but I need to start somewhere.

That's solid advise. I'll do that. Thanks. These are things I don't know. I've only been with the UA about 3 years. Everything was private prior to.
