14 years

Been doing it for 27 years I thought it would be a littel easier on the body but boy was I wrong but I still like doing it so I guess thats all that matters.

I started working as a trim out man, putting on grills, stats, hooking up gas lines and starting up furnaces. The company did mostly RNC work. I would trim out four houses each day. This was in 1961.
I started our company in 1964.
All this said, Ive been working in this industry for 48 years. It has been a great ride and I'm still riding. We have been able to send our children through college and now are seeing grandchildren in higher education.
I've seen more of the world, than I every imagined. I've met some of the greatest people in our industry.
I've seen us going from installing heat only systems, with 1/2" duct insulation, no backing, glued on, to what we are seeing now.
The future is very bright for those of you that want it to be and are willing to learn. So be the very best you can be and never give up.

Damn he even beats me, I'm only at 40 years.

Got to be careful with experience , sometimes it's just a career full of experiences and not necessarily experience.
