Rob Boudrie Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I had a plumbing problem Xmas eve that involved opening a wall to address a leaking drain. I emailed a USPSA plumber and Xmas day and received detailed instructions on the proper way to fix the problem; a suggestion for something that was not quite right I should fix while the pipes are exposed; and an offer to drive up to my house in a few days and do the job for "parts and gas only". He even refused the offer of 5,000 primers of his choice or a case of XM193 for the job I'm pretty sure I have the repair completed correctly, and emailed him the photos for comment - but this sort of help from a fellow USPSA member is fantastic. He's a forum member whose welcome to reply. I'm not mentioning his name in case he does not want to offer a national plumbing hotline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I've met an amaxing number of folks in this sport who fit that mold. I'll say it again -- I came for the shooting but I stayed because of the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 The USPSA plumber even emailed me a critique of my work after I sent him the "after" photos. I will feel MUCH better closing the wall knowing that it "looks right" to someone who knows this sort of thing. I'm generally pretty good at the mechanical aspects of DIY home repairs, but his help prevented me from missing something important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 The folks of the shootin' community generally ROCK. Including e-plumbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the kind word Rob. If you want to get started, the MA license is now 550 hours of school and 5 years apprenticeship. You have the basic skill so if the computer gig gives out I will give you a good recommendation. Seriously, you are one that helps many. i am glad to return the favor. Also, nice shooting with you today.
