This letter is to ask you and the staff of Plumbing & Mechanical to invest some time and effort to solve a problem for me. If you can make a “project” of answering my questions, I’m sure it will be of interest to many other readers.
I want to start my own small plumbing company, specializing in repair, remodel, drain cleaning and small construction. Technical knowledge and practical experience are not a problem. I have been a union plumber for 20 years, working on nuclear plants, hospitals and other large construction projects. The last 12 years, I’ve worked for Natkin & Co. in the plumbing service department. As foreman, bidding jobs, dealing with commercial accounts and performing the work, I know the technical side. The business management and planning are areas where I need help.
