ok watso's son went off the rails for a while - but he is now an electrician .

the son often thanks his father (ie watso) for the experiences that he was exposed to.. ok just to a lesser extent than what a farmer might expose to his son .. for no other reason than watso did not have a farm - but the sister and her husband had a farm - and that is where he spent holidays
back home - the son was stripping back small engines from a young age, knew everything about 2 way radios, and was always helping his dad in all sorts of home handyman stuff .

a chip off the old block … mmm the son's grandfather (watso's father) was into electricity .

lol the son is exactly the same height as his dad (ie watso) at the same age - as per the mark on the door frame - and also the same weight .

lol the only difference at the son's age - was that watso was teaching chicky babes at an exclusive girls private school .. and watso never applied for the job

Good choice!

Electrician or Plumber is the way to go due to being licensed.

Some relatives of mine are plasterers & they are having a hard time due to cheap foreign labour doing plastering now. Apparently mini buses of Asian plasterers arrive each morning (to commercial jobs - shopping centres, high rise apartments/offices etc) to do most of the work and the skilled plasterers are there to fix up any mistakes- works out much cheaper this way
