Let's try this again. Hello, I'm new to Nostr. Still trying to figure it out. Let's build something together. image

Well i guess in the context of nostr, it would be building bitcoin and decentralizing. For my day job I am a plumber, so I help build houses.
Very cool. I'm a welder by trade, but I build all sorts of stuff. I stumbled on nostr by accident... So I'm not really here for the BTC stuff. Lol! Do you exclusively do new construction? Are you all in on pex or do you still go old school copper?

We do new construction, remodels and service work. Mostly we do pex because that is what people want to pay for, but we also do copper, especially on repairs. I don't know how to weld but I can sodder copper. We actually are going to start a house this summer that they want done in cpvc, haven't had one of those in a while.
Very cool, very versatile. When I build, I'm doing as much stainless and copper in the water system as possible since I think most plastic is very likely poisonous. (And I say that living in a travel trailer full of pex... 😅) I'm glad to have another skilled tradesperson in the neighborhood!

Oh I agree! I think copper is far better for our health, sadly most people don't want to pay for that.

Personally I would rather have copper which is a natural metal our body needs (small amounts), then plastic because we are already exposed to so much mircoplastic. Copper does get pin holes over time which is why everyone switched to pex, and of course pex is cheaper. But you are correct it does depend on the water chemistry, different areas have different water, so it really depends. I've never plumbed using stainless although I have done service work where stainless was previously installed, so I'm not really too sure about that.
