Small crawlspaces are my jam. I've had to embrace them since I'm always being sent to these types of calls. #phenominalcosmicpowerittybittylivingspace #maybeishouldgainfiftypounds #nahImgood #lifeasanapprentice #nonbinaryinthetrades

Had an adventure in a crawlspace so tight I could barely move around with my glasses on, let alone my respirator. #n95itis #phenominalcosmicpowerittybittylivingspace #suckitin #crawlspaces #anybodygotsomeduckbutter #plumbing #lifeasanapprentice #nonbinaryinthetrades
