Central IL Plumber

New and already deemed crazy
Hi all
I'm happy to find a site to discuss plumbing related topics with PROFESSIONALS who value their license, education and trade. I GOOGLED onto this site because I was seeking some professional opinions. I got just what I was looking for. I am 35, live in central illinois with my wife and 2 kids. I hold a plumbing license and backflow cert. card. I enjoy tinkering in my shop and always have a project going...although some on this site have raised concerns about my sanity. I have welding equipment (MIG, TIG, O/A and plasma) as well as a couple lathes, drills and a mill to help make some of my ideas come to life... My job is enjoyable as I do many different things. Res. plumbing, com. plumbing, Irrigation work, HDPE fusion on res & com geo thermal jobs, watermain work, repair work on equipment, bidding, material ordering, etc. I plan on taking my med gas cert. welding cert. and valve repair cert. this winter at the hall. A big thumbs up to you pros on this site!!! Ross |

Howdy Ross,
Where ya from in Central IL? I am in Olney. It's technically southern IL. 1 hour south of effingham. Get all the certs ya can. It may be the difference between working and not someday. Do you have a tubing bender? You're my new best friend if yes  I also like to tinker with metal in my spare time. Something cool about fabbing something yourself out of a pile of steel  .Do you also drill the wells for geothermal. I just had 97 drilled and piped last year at 2 facilities. Might have to give you a jingle if yes. Last edited by ILPlumber; 08-29-2008 at 09:43 PM.. Reason: I need to dictate to a secretary. Don't make sense sometimes. |

Almost forgot, we operate out of Goodfield, IL ... halfway between Peoria and Bloomington and work within a 2 hour drive of there, but if the job is large enough, we will go farther. No tubing bender (...yet) |
