I have a lot of respect for the people that do it but I couldn't. I have two left hands and am fairly skittish when it comes to human excrement.

It's not all just poopoo peepee stuff. A lot of plumbers do mechanical work in commercial buildings, boiler retrofits, repiping, construction. I'm in commercial HVAC and work with a bunch of plumbers whose skills and scope of work have great overlap with mine. I've also helped them out doing boiler retros/repipes. We offer similar services, subcontracting each other to our own customers, just they do more of the gas fired work and fix leaks in heating loops and I do the AC/Refrigeration stuff

There’s other hand-craft trades that don’t involve sewage. If you get into the commercial space, there’s a good chance you’d deal with it a lot less if at all since they would need a specialist for biohazards.

Plumbing isn't exactly rocket science. And with some infra companies you don't have to deal with any nasty parts.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Depends on what level you're at. I had a friend help us install a new septic system. Holy shit was there a lot more to it than I ever guessed. Had no idea surveying gear was required.

At a higher level, same guy drafts plans for military bases and hospitals. Then he goes in the field to troubleshoot issues. Plumbing includes gas if applicable!

Most of us are familiar with, if not doing the work, the principles behind fixing a leak, replacing a sink or toilet, etc. I can do all of the above, but I don't know the fine points in doing it right. There's far more to residential plumbing than most see.

In my experience a lot of those jobs are handled by more specific people I wouldn't exactly call just plumbers. There's far more to it than people realize for sure but it's still not rocket science.

Pretty sure that didn't happen

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

Nothing unbelievable about it imo

So why are they not helping their brother?

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (13 children)

Their brother is a grown-ass man and should be helping himself.
