I was a plumbing apprentice back in the day. There’s one other thing I was taught 3) don’t bite your fingernails ?

I was told to be a plumber you needed to know hot is on the left. Cold is on the right. It won't run uphill. Payday is Friday. By the way the Kentucky River flows from south to north.

Not always - kitchen sink here was plumbed reverse before I moved in...never got around to switching it proper. I do know what I'm doing - replaced the water heater a few years back and since the old one had been hard-plumbed, I had to sweat in new couplers.

 

I do all the plumbing and electrical maintenance on my place - learned from my dad 50 or so years ago.

The main thing you need to know, when you’re a plumber, is do not chew your fingernails.

That’s because Ohio sucks harder than Kentucky!
