Redwood
Master Plumber
I never installed a lav, shampoo or cuspidor trap below the floor.... That's why
Or is it you've never installed a pedestal sink?
Redwoods Rule #23: Never bring a knife to a gunfight!

Terry, I would question your friend's, if that's what they were. I don't know why any contractor would ask you to slow down that's crazy, if you were working in a power house, and the project was going to last several years, I heard of that, But not when your out from job to job. I have had a great expirence with my union[ and continue to do so. Also keep looking at past thread's to tear me down, I'll just keep coming back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yeah, of course not.
Nobody ever asked the other guys to slow down either.
But they did ask me to slow down.
I helped out some friends one time, renovating a Junior High in Sammamish. They "said" they were behind six weeks.
At the end of the first week they let me go, saying that I had caught them up.
Yeah, of course not.

When I was a supervisor at Phoenix Mechanical Contractors, I went on a Saturday to plumb for a day. Or at least I was going to do a days work.
One of the other owners showed up one and a half hours late that morning, but I was almost done. I took me two hours, and then I went home.
Was he happy? the other owners? Oh heck no. They hated that I was that much faster.
Plumbing houses in the 70's, our three man crew would rough in five houses a week. We only were allowed to work 40 weeks.
If I was by myself, I could drive 1/2 hour each way, run copper for a three bath home and get back to the shop in 6-3/4 hours.
I could also knock a hole in a 8" concrete wall in five hits with a sledgehammer.
I worked with 150 other plumbers. The president of the company told one of the supervisors that I had the fastest rough-in crew.
And the least amount of problems. When I was an apprentice, I went eight months without a copper leak.
Yeah, I got asked to slow down a bunch of times.
Plumber 101,
Some of us blinding fast guys wind up with our own businesses.
That's all.
Again, a complete mis conception of union's. If any of my emloyee's were doing that they would be let go on the spot. Because your blinding fast that mean's you have to be non- union? That's insane!! And in my past exp., guy's who boast how fast they are usually, do sloppy work and never live up to expectation's they make them self's out to be. I'm not saying that's how you are, but it's usually true.

Amen to that brother. Jamie and I have that one down Redwood.The biggest savings is eliminating extra trips back and forth to the truck.
This is awkward, but...
