The rest of the plumbers mantra is, "cold is on the left and payday is
Friday"


****! Gotta go swap all my supplies.


I think I like electrical work much better. Small holes you can drill
almost anywhere and does not need to go in a straight line. And
electric lines do not freeze...


To judge how trades are structured, hang out at a distributor outlet
as the journeymen pick up their supplies. The plumbers always look
grungy, carpenters have tears in their faded jeans, other trades are
somewhat disheveled. But the electricians show up in near new trucks,
clean clothes and haircuts. Must be a lesson there.
