Bag check

I’m a 19 year old 1st year plumbing apprentice. I do only commercial work for the union.

What do you think I need to add to my bag? Are there things you think I should stay away from?

I also have 3/8 ratchet set and a 1/2 ratchet set in that pack out in the background. I also have power tools in there too such as an impact, sawzall, drill, and a handful of m18 batteries.

Also sorry for the wire strippers image, they were in my pocket cause I was using them and I forgot to include them in the other photo.

A son needing some help from fathers out there.

I am 19, work as a commercial plumber pipe fitter for the union (that is relevant)

My parents split when I was real young and my father met a new woman soon after that and moved 45 minutes away. My father is great and so is the woman he married (my step mom) I love them so much

My mom also remarried, a man named Chris. Since my father moved a bit away he slowly stopped making efforts to see us unless it was convenient for him, He showed up less to my stuff because of work and would argue with me when I couldn’t make it to his house because of school or work.

Chris has come to most everything, shown me so much love, and even is the reason I have the job I do now. This man taught me how to shave and how to change my own oil.

I got a girlfriend recently and when her family asked about my father I started talking about Chris. Told them all about him and didn’t realize that I did until after.

I have been kinda breaking down the past couple days, I feel so guilty and conflicted but I am starting to realize that Chris has started taking the role of my real father.

Do I tell my step dad this? Would he appreciate something like this? I wouldn’t ever tell my real dad. I still see him as much as I can but he doesn’t need to know this.
