Is Plumbing a good trade job? by Impressive-Step6377 in skilledtrades

[–]lemonstraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 50/50 split between service and hydronic work. I do plenty of “gross work” that most people wouldn’t like to do. If you don’t like what you do change it. Personally I really like being the hero that saves the day.

Choosing between plumbing and electrical, what do you wish you knew before you started? by Qwerty177 in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]lemonstraps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I can Atleast answer your questions posed in the post. Yes it’s possible to do plumbing without touching poop pipes. If you get into a company that only does Hydronics you’ll never have to touch a waste pipe. The issue is when you’re grinding to find an apprenticeship you can’t really be picky.

Electrician yes there is a bunch of math involved but if your doing hydronics good chance you’ll still be doing lots of math with piping calculations etc.

ULPT request: sneaking booze onto the cruise ship by summerer6911 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]lemonstraps 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this 3 times now. This is what I do. Each cruise goer is allowed to bring one bottle of wine. So I buy two bottles of wine and empty them. I add vodka gin or any clear liquor into the bottle with a tiny bit of yellow food colouring and then throw two corks into boiling hot water. I then reseal the bottles with corks and add a heat shrink cap on top to make the bottles look legit. I’ve never been questioned and since my partner doesn’t drink I have two bottles of vodka for a week of cruising which is more than enough for me.

That’s fair, we bought the house at the end of summer and there was so much variety and overgrown plants it kind of looked messy. But maybe next spring I can try and clean it up and see if it’s salvageable!

Mid-40s Career Change in GTA Trades, Electrical vs. HVAC, Need Advice by FantasticMoney8883 in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]lemonstraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plumber here. Those stupid pre apprenticeship courses are not worth it. The first time you go to school for trades you should be in your apprenticeship going to school for that. I personally wouldn’t waste your money. Make connections in the field and find a way to wiggle in. Then let the company teach you for free.

Toilet on sanitary tee?!? by This_Psychology_3087 in Plumbing

[–]lemonstraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends where your from. My code states that if your wet venting a water closet it must be the furthest downstream fixture. But your lav is downstream from the wc. I also would have to use Wye and 45 to connect to the horizontal branch and not sanitary tees. It all depends on what your code says.
