I remember a few years ago my pumpling got backed up and it cost like 600 dollars to get it fixed. Might have to deal with some unpleasant things, but it pays well.

I have the utmost respect for plumbers man. A year ago we had a septic backup that was leaking shyt out of a small crack in the front of the house. My brother and I rented a snake from Home Depot and fixed it ourselves. That had to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever done in my life. It took about an hour and I sacrificed a pair of shoes doing it and knew I never wanted to go through that again.

Don't plumbers make most of their money in construction?

exterminators/pest control kinda odd too...them nikkas get asked to walk in dark rooms looking for bugs and rats :heh:
:manny: I could easily do that. Those tight ass crawl spaces though may cause a level of claustrophobia i've never experienced....especially when face to face with a big ass python:to:

Plumbers make good money even if they're lazy and doctor money if they're hustlers. If you have a plumbing problem it's going to to cost you $100 just for the plumber to come look at it.

Not fix it. Just look at it. They can look at 4 jobs a day and fix like 4-5 jobs a week depending on the difficulty of the jobs.

I know a plumber in DC that had a million dollar business! Grinded from an apprentice to CEO. A young Black man too.

There are plenty of things you can do as a plumber and not be doing sanitation. Here in Australia, a smart and hardworking gas-fitter is classed as a plumber, and can be >120K

It's a really good skilled trade. The plumber that comes out to my job is a ex dope boy whose uncle put him on cause his criminal record wasn't letting him get a job. Now he's clearing around 60k legally.

It's real breh. And you can eat good off of it too. That business can be lucrative but it can take a toll on you psychologically. Like I said, I would be the purse behind the scene but I couldn't actually do that work.

I have the same mindset too. I can give the capital but I need someone to do the work.

Tell that to the septic guys that bill $300 an hour for emergency service.

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC all make great livings for themselves.

Most of the time they're fixing things that wouldn't cost a thing to fix on your own and takes no time and they can jack up the price and no one would know any better
