“I love it. I love working with my hands everyday and seeing a project through from start to finish. Seeing the bones of a building and knowing how to plumb it and how it works is really an awesome thing… It’s a great life, really. I own a home, my own car, and I was able to go on a really nice vacation last year.”<\/p>\n
