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.
Unless your doing new construction, plumbing and electrician trades some times do nasty work in unsanitary conditions like crawling in a tight space attic in deplorable heat to work. No thank you, just say no, I am neither nor do I want to be. I can see why they make the money they do.
