St. Louis Master Plumber - Plumbing Zone

Pipe Rat · 05-10-2009, 09:27 PM

Hello everyone. Been lurking long enough, time to get involved. I have 30 years in the trade with the last 12 being self employed. I ran a service business for the first 6 years and then partnered up with another guy doing site utilities and thats all we do now. I sure miss the service work sometimes. I did the work now pay me, Thank you. In this site utility work 90-120 or longer is getting to be the NORM

What was I thinking?

Looks like a good bunch on here. TTYL

Yeah Jim, it's getting worse all the time with this economy. 60 is a good customer these days. Quite rare though.
