    1) You're hired.

    2) I've never seen so many shower heads in one shower before. Well, not since basic training anyway.

    It’s a “institution” we’ve got a bunch of basements on campus, and a tunnel system connecting them all, built in the 50s-60s

    That right there is a professionally done job. Notice the extra supporting wrap on the bucket handle. I would hire whoever did that in a second, that's a skilled technician.

    Oh good. I thought it might be a different kind of institution and that was your room.
    Didn't wanna come right out and ask in case it was a touchy subject.

    I’m definitely not claiming that. We do a lot of plumbing work, but that wasn’t me. They have this paste/cast stuff they love to use instead of just replacing pipe……

    Finished replacing all the carpet in my house with laminate flooring. Installing 5 1/4" baseboard next. Today I am helping my son renovate a bathroom in his house built in 1901.

    Yea there was a lot of it. The bathroom had been remodeled in 96, probably by the homeowner. They did a terrible job. My son bought this house 2 weeks ago. His first home.
