Serious Question To All Those Wanting To Be Plumber/Heating Engineer.

[pobsdad]

When I was at school,some bugger told me plumbing was a good secure,well respected,well paid job for life.If they'd told me about the bad knees,aching back......I honestly used to love the job,theres nothing better than some old dear saying thank you for fixing her boiler/whatever,after a week without hot water,with a tear in her eye!But the last couple of years have got harder and harder,healthwise,to the point that I hate getting up in the morning.

After working until 2030 shifting an F&E and a 50 gallon tank yesterday on my jack jones I wonder why as well.

I feel the start of it myself after a long day yesterday shifting water tanks I felt it this morning.

Is that because you're no good at chess?
