Thanks, all! Record high unemployment in this part of the country, I've been looking for around 3 years now.
Aced the interview, and now they are running the background checks and drug check, I should be working by the end of the week!
 
Big time clogged bathroom drain. Ew.
Okay, tried pouring boiling water in there, in case it was a lump of old soap that clogged the drain pipe. No go.
Wait, didn't I buy a metal spiral sewer thingy a few years ago?
After rummaging in various toolboxes, I found the thing.
And after poking around (Yuck! Ick! Damn!) I now have a fully functional drain again. Phew! :D
Thanks to dad, who didn't mind having me along when doing maintenance on the house, that taught me a lot of practical things. :D
Like fixing a clogged drain, changing tires, putting up shelves, assembling furniture, changing the suspension springs in a car, how to fix scratches and holes in various surfaces, how to polish copper (ketchup, guys - rub it on, leave it on, remove), remove chalk thingy edges from the various bathroom things and faucets, and so on. :)
Thanks to dad I can now take a shower without having to call a plumber first. :D

Good onya Paul. As I said in my PM. It is apparent you didn't wear your little helmet!

I know what you mean about gaining employment over there. Even tho I had 15 years experience on drafting tables, the old style. After finishing CAD school, at 48, I had twelve interviews and no takers. They would rather hire a snot nosed 19 year old who couldn't find a toilet if he fell over one.

Hoping you're working next week mate!
 
Just received the latest Squadron wish book (catalog) and I couldn't believe my eyes... On the cover they announced that Trumpeter is releasing in April the
1/32 scale P-61B Black Widow. I know what I want for my next birthday... [-o<
 
After 6 days of pushing mud with a serrated blade on my grader, they finally put on a flat blade. To put this into perspective, pour some water on a counter top. Now try to get the water off the counter top using a comb. Home in 5 hours.
