    I have an Apprenticeship interview with the Committee and I need advice!

    Trust me, I won't. I plan on putting money aside into a IRA for that purpose. I will retire someday if I live long enough, and don't trust any company enough not to do enough on my own. :(

    I have an Apprenticeship interview with the Committee and I need advice!

    Thanks. That is what I was thinking, but not sure. I also think the working fee is the union due. bill (still waiting impatiently)

    I have an Apprenticeship interview with the Committee and I need advice!

    Thanks, it is appreciated. Now for a noob question. When I went for the interview, they gave us a sheet that listed the pay for a first year apprentice, but they broke it down into base pay (this is the only part I know), working fee (no clue), and Building trades credit union fund (no idea...

    I have an Apprenticeship interview with the Committee and I need advice!

    Well, I am not sure how you did Morgan, but I got my letter today ranking me #7 out of 207. Now that is a pretty good place to be, but no guaranty as to how many will be placed to work this year. I am hoping the take at least seven guys this year :p

    MorganJ, how did it go? Mine went okay. Not great, not horrible. I should know in about three weeks my ranking #. I hope 3rd time is a charm rather than three strikes and I am out to find a non-union shop. :o

    I have an Apprenticeship interview with the Committee and I need advice!

    So they tend to not use the 1st and 2nd year apprentices much? Maybe I would be better off then non-union. I really need at least an average of 35 hours a week. :(

    I have an Apprenticeship interview with the Committee and I need advice!

    Is this in Minnesota? I am going for my third attempt in three yeears in five days also! I wish I knew, as I have placed in the 90's for the first two attempts out of 300+ applicants. If so, they will call you into a room with ten people that will watch you while one of them will ask you ten...

    Anyone have any advice on getting into the plumbing field?

    Welcome to my world. To get to be a journeyman, you need 1750 hours of drain/vent work, 1750 hours of water distribution piping, 1750 hours of applience installations, 1750 hours of misc, and if I want to work in st. paul, I need an extra 1750 hours of gas piping, that is before I can take the...

    Pur faucet

    Yes, you are correct. I am still learning, and have not got that far in class yet. Only rebuilding faucets with cartridges and stems. I have not had enough experience yet to know all the different brands or types, so I will be wrong more often than I rather admit still. thanks again :D

    Pur faucet

    When I enter pur cartridge though, it always comes up with filter cartridge. I guess I will just take it apart and run to the big box store, just take me more time Nevermind, I found the parts numbers on the delta website.

    Pur faucet

    A friend has a Pur filtered drinking faucet. It leaks constantly out the spout, so I figured it was time to rebuild it, but can not seem to find any cartridges for it online. Where is the best place to find one? thanks in advance :)

    need to find a toilet

    Hey guys, I need a little help on finding a toilet. I went over to my dads house to replace his toilet. We were going to put in a titan (don't remember model) since we installed one in my grandpas place and the cabin, and it worked great, but when I went to bolt it down, we realised how...

    Tax writeoff on Van for business use?

    First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong area, or if this should even be on this site, but you are the only plumbers I know of other than my instructor. Anywho, I am thinking about applying to get accepted into a union apprenticeship, but they require you supply your own vehicle. Not a...

    lead solder? Uh oh!

    Cool, I never knew that. I may do it just to know for piece of mind. But if the rest of the plumbing I did not touch has lead solder, I will just live with it until I get bored and redo the whole laundry room area where most of this is located. I am going to try and remove the old elbow and...
