New Member from VA - Plumbing Zone

Hello all. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Josh, and I've been in the trade for about 17 years. After high school and very short college career I was fortunate to be able to get accepted and finish a 5 year apprenticeship with Plumbers & Steamfitters LU 491. Since topping out I've Threaded, welded, sweated, crimped, grooved, glued, taped, bent, prayed over every kind of pipe I can think of.
I am in the process of building my own home and was looking for an answer to one of my many questions when I managed to stumble on the Ridgid forum, which led me here. I am amazed at the amount of knowledge that can be found on this site, and find it quite addictive at times.
Anyway, I ramble, just wanted to say hello to everyone.
