Man I gotta raise what I charge to port intakes

**** nobody wants to pay us nothing in this trade. But if you're a plumber you make a bunch of $$$ and you don't have 1% of the skill most of us have. (no ding on any trade here just an example) I can weld, braze, sweat pipe, fabricate, wrench etc. and I might as well be a Walmart greeter.
Yeah plumber charged me $500 to come out for an hour to unclog the sewer line to the main (tree roots - it cost $400 last year). Nobody will get out of bed for a few hundred bucks up here.
