You're a fitter? Not gonna ask who for if you dont want to.

Mechanic/fitter myself. Got sucked into a piping job this week.... kinda hoping it lasts a while, it wont... but, here is hoping.

Chase

 

I'm on the Noon Ferrie tomorrow!

 

Which carpet? The area rugs? The runners? Or the bedrooms? The one that really gets me is the pink one in the master bedroom! Lol

 

Haha yeah that one. And I like pink

 

Yeah that pink one is atrocious!

 

@Cativelense printing first sample to check dimensions

 

@Bruce988jl time to ditch the sway bar

 

That doesn't sound like a good thing. Waiting for a day and 1/2 for a ride would drive me nuts. Time for the boat motor mod?

 

Pipe welder. But did most of my own fitting as well.

 

Can’t beat em join em

Trades are way to go

 

yeah he didn't want to go to college. he's been doing it since he was a teenager, has better benefits than me

 

Absolutely. I’m Union now that I’m out of the army and my benefits are a thousand times better than most people I know who went to college. I finished a degree in the army and still just couldn’t bring myself to do desk work

 

yeah, and you can make good money relatively quickly. and pensions are hard to come by these days

 

The annuity that I get is huge. Between that and not paying anything for healthcare it was basically a no brainer. But the money is great too when it’s famine. Right now it’s not unheard of for guys to come right out at 18-20 yrs old making six figures to start.

 

yeah exactly. i got out of grad school and my peers got agency jobs making 35-40k/per year. i couldn't do it

don't get me wrong, my graduate degree is definitely helpful in my line of work and probably helped me get the job

 

Wow, I'm out for a few hours and look, @DoubleRGirl is back. To what do we owe the honor? Need someone to push the Taco out of the garage so it doesn't get the rickets?

 

I find that so frustrating. My wife has two degrees and has never made what I felt she deserved. Every position she wanted to move into required a grad degree which meant more money and time spent for very little reward on the salary aspect. It turned out to just not even be woth it in the end.

 

I thought there was a chance of showers today? It’s not leaving the garage

 

If that Zillow estimate is accurate, that’s a lot less money than I thought it would be at 6,800 sq ft and 7 acres.

 

Oh good point
