love the advice and the cheap shots

Yeah i think when im actually a plumber a van will have to be in the cards but can maybe get away with first year apprentice as i hear they get the shit jobs like unblocking toilets :/

But yeah ill have to get a van and a bike.. hmm

Thank you for all your help !

Don't forget clumbing under houses with a broken shit pipe that has leaked everywhere.

Hm. Bike trailer ?

Never actually seen it done or met anyone who's done it , but I think it's legal. I believe that in the USA it's not uncommon ? (strange place , though, the USA ).

Sidechair could carry anything an apprentice would need, but you'd need a bigger than 250 to pull it methinks.

Contrary to popular opinion, bikers don't really like 'a bit on the side'

All the above being considered though - I'd certainly ask about the possibility of having a bike to do year 1... just not hold out high hopes.

If you are being employed by someone else as their apprentice, I'd expect them to provide transport however. Don't go buying a van to help them - they're in business to do that, you're there for a job...

And the welding under the house and dropping hot blob of metal on yourself

[woody68]

One nail gun $800 we lost about 10 of one highrise site so it soon adds up.
You should be fine with a bike ,you young guys normal kick around with a tradsman for the first couple of years then you'l get a van.

Whereupon you bellow with pain and , by reflex, jerk up straight, thus smashing your head on the floor joists. Such fun working under houses, flat on your back,

Damn - I missed out on that - I did Fitting Turning and Machining...

(aka Hitting Turning and Machining...)... but I did manage the obligatory burning of thy own hands by picking up freshly welded metal...

Why does everyone do that - you'd think hot metal would be obvious?!?
