👉 Ask the “Stupid” Question (and Move Down the Pipe)
🟡 FOLLOW THE YELLOW PIPE… OR STAY STUCK 😏 Quick one before you scroll… I’ve always said this: “Ask stupid questions. Worst case — we laugh, then we sort it.80% of the people laughing wanted to know the answer anyway.Better to ask than stay stupid forever.” That’s how this place works. You start at the bottom of the pipe (same as everyone else).Then you move by actually getting involved: • Ask when you’re stuck• Help when you can• Don’t just sit there quietly watching The more you show up, the further you go. 🏆 Every week: I pick the most helpful person (not the noisiest) 👉 You get a FREE 1-on-1 live session with me. Real job. Real problem. We fix it. And the closer you get to Wizard Os…the easier it is to get direct help when you need it. So yeah… Ask the “stupid” question. Chances are, it’s the one everyone else needed answered. Or don’t… and stay stuck 😄👇

@Joe Sargent Your hot on the track, good suggestion.
Let the games begin!
Was chatting to @Samuel Anderson the other day about game we can play around activities in the group. He sent me a few options to start with. Id like to hear from the community what they think of how we could formulate this game and have some fun! Your thoughts Ideas: 🔍 CORE CONCEPT (WHAT THIS REALLY IS) “Wizzard of OS: Pipewood Village” is a progression-based problem-solving ecosystem: Members = players Problems = quests Answers = actions Engagement = currency Experience = leveling system Ozzie = the “Wizard” authority figure It mirrors Skool’s mechanics: Posts → Quests Comments → Help actions Likes/engagement → Points Leaderboard → Progress path
Let the games begin!

@James Humecky will do
You can hear water running somewhere.
You are lying in bed late at night when it is all deadly quiet. You can hear water running somewhere. 1. What would you do? 2. What will you do once you find it?

@Gabriel Sebastián López Illia well done on doing your own plumbing. You are the master of your own fault finding too, after all you put it together.

@Rositsa Aleksandrova I'm going to test the turn off comments feature. If I succeed, that officially means I have the last say 😁
My Top 10 Tools Every Maintenance Plumber Actually Needs (Ranked by How Often They Save My Bacon)
Hey Legends, 30+ years crawling under houses, inside factories, and behind toilets — these are the 10 tools that have literally kept me sane (and employed). Ranked by how often they get used on a real maintenance call-out. 1. Tongue-and-Groove Pliers (aka Gas Pliers, Waterpump Pliers, Channellocks) The absolute king. Grips anything, twists anything, holds anything. If I could only take one tool… this is it. Sorry, shifter — you’re second. 2. Adjustable Wrench (Shifting spanner) Does 90% of nuts and bolts. One tool, endless sizes. The lazy plumber’s best friend (and yes, I’m lazy when it saves time). 3. Pipe Wrench The heavy-duty brute. Two of these = one to hold the pipe, one to turn the fitting. Without them you’re just swearing at rusty galvanized. 4. Basin Wrench The only way to reach those stupid mounting nuts hidden behind sinks. Long handle + swivel jaw = the tool that stops you from punching the vanity. 5. Pipe and Tubing Cutters Clean, square cuts on copper or PEX. Bad cuts = leaks = callbacks. No one wants to be the guy who has to come back twice. 6. Hacksaw (with spare blades) When nothing else fits. Cuts metal, plastic, old bolts, your patience — whatever’s in the way. 7. Plumber’s Torch For sweating copper joints. Nothing says “permanent fix” like a nice hot solder joint… and a small burn on your thumb. 8. Plunger + Drain Auger (Plumber’s Snake) Plunger handles 80% of toilet clogs. The other 20%? Auger. Never leave the van without both — unless you enjoy fishing with your hand. 9. Headlamp / strong work light Because 90% of plumbing happens in dark cupboards, under sinks, or in roofs. Eyesight is overrated anyway… right? 10. Multitool and/or Multi-bit screwdriver (with good bits) Phillips, flat, torx, square — one handle does them all. Saves carrying a whole toolbox just for screws. Honourable mentions: Mole grips (emergency third hand), tape measure (obvious), spirit level (keeps things from looking drunk). What’s missing from my list? What’s your #1 “if I forget this I go home” tool? Drop it below — stupid answers get a laugh, smart ones get a like 😏
