The Master and I worked on an extension of a house the past two days.

He was able to tell me what to do or what to get, and I was able to do most of it. Made some mistakes, but the Master pointed them out and told me what they were so I won't ever do them again.

We ran water lines, a drain, and he vented the drain to the roof of the new extension.

You are getting through some work. Enjoying it still?

It's without a doubt some of the toughest work I've ever done, but it is also some of the most fulfilling work I've ever gotten to do.

My goal is to make it to a year. I'll reaccess where I'm at when I get there, but I think that I'm learning a lot and going many practical skills that can provide me and others value.

It was 4 year apprenticeships when I was a lad. Admittedly plumbers would have spent 3 years cleaning solders. But it's the experience around experts that counts in the long run. Your perspective is useful, especially if you were to show the mistakes. Because it's getting over problems that teach the most. Cheers

I definitely think it's making me a better man!
