There are two questions that I'm often asked:
1. What is a Boilermaker?
2. What do your kids think about what you do?
Well, here's my answer to both of those questions.
A Boilermaker is a trained craftsman who produces steel fabrications
from plates and sections.
The name originated from craftsmen who would fabricate boilers,
but they may work on projects as diverse as bridges to blast furnaces
to the construction of mining equipment.
A Boilermaker works in construction as a member of the Shipbuilders Union.
Many Boilermakers are employed in repairing, repiping,
and re-tubing commercial steam

and hot water boilers used for heating and domestic
hot water in commercial buildings and multi-family dwellings.

My children understand that my work is different from someone who works
in an office or retail store.
Yet working in the construction field enables me to provide a comfortable
lifestyle for my family which might otherwise
not be possible on a minimum wage salary.
