If you are a plumber, you can work on a shed, or you can work on a mansion. It's just scale.

I wanted to be a plumber.

I grew up around hardware. I could sell you all the plumbing and electricity you want.

I am instinctively a network infrastructure plumber.

I've been working with contractors designing and building a house on a nonstop basis since 2005. I learned about all these systems of audio, construction, electricity, energy, water systems.

With every bathroom renovation, there are three areas that I focus on: budget, function and style.

I can change a light fixture, and I can do certain things. But I'm really bad in terms of construction. I can't do any of it on my own.

I was relatively technically adept. I can edit and wire up a light.

I also taught myself how to blow glass using a propane torch from the hardware store and managed to make some elementary chemistry plumbing such as tees and small glass bulbs.
