It was a fulfilling day of work. As instructed by my Master I installed this new p-trap for a new sink that did not yet have one. I need to cut away at the black pipe seen in the photo. I added a 90° fitting and needed a trap extension. I was able to do this while the Master was upstairs working on another sink. We had other jobs today, but this was what I most wanted to share. Personally, it was great start to the work week for me.

We did some of the final work today at a home remodel. I installed some finish for a tub and shower to start my day. I had a bit of a hiccup with the tub faucet which was disappointing. Luckily, the Master is good mentor. I beat myself up about mistakes more than he does. Next, I installed a toilet in the master bathroom. Small leak with the toilet supply. My Master showed me how to better install it after I tried to fix my mistake a few tries. No more issues after that. Then I installed a one of the sink faucets. It was mirror copy of the one he did. I used that as a reference to make sure I was on the right track. Then my Master installed a dishwasher. I mostly observed at this point. We have a little left to install. A kitchen sink and hooking up a propane conversion for a stovetop. Possibly the washing machine in the laundry room as well.

For the past three months I have been working for a master plumber I met at my local #Bitcoin meetup. I asked him for a chance to learn from him and it's turned into a real opportunity to work and learn some hard skills. My plan is to use this npub to journal some of what I have been learning. I am The Plumber's Apprentice.
