Blocked Drain 519 New Owners Buy Someone Else's Problem $$

[@slc1161]

I know you wanted to grab the hose and do it yourself, but you did a great job restraining that urge and did an excellent job instructing him.

[@cephasrodgers9417]

Gavin, thanks for taking on a young worker and being willing to pass on your skills and experience, this is half the battle. The other half is the willingness for Mitch to learn and hunger to do the job right the first time. Mitch looks like he is a good fit so hopefully you will make a good team.

[@peterdopson9193]

Doesn't matter what job you do, we all have to start some where, good luck Mitch

[@stevem1081]

It will take time to get the feel of roots/pipes. Watching things you do gives me ideas of how to make things safer/easier. if you have a piece of rubber flap, like from a truck innertube, with a couple of strong magnets, and put it over that down pipe, it would hold itself in place, although the pipe may be aluminum, so then a strap or clamp.

[@timber9705]

Great job training your apprentice. It is tough to step back and let the learn by doing. He may be slower than you now, but in a few months, he'll build confidence and knowledge. Speed will slowly come and he'll be able to work alone.

[@beccasmama63]

I think Mitch has lots of potential. He listens to instructions well and doesn't have a "I can do this without your help" attitude like some people do.

[@sheilarowan8664]

So glad to see you have help you are a fantastic mentor ❤❤❤❤ well done ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Mitch is doing well and listening to you. Great apprentice and great tutor. Watching from Christchurch New Zealand

Well done Mitch. You might want to watch the more than two hours long 'special Mini-Masterclass' that Ollie just put out ;)

Great idea! I found it really interesting and I have nothing to do with the job!

Mitch is doing well. I’m sure he knows what a great opportunity you are giving him. Well done both of you.

[@carolsouders2171]

Gavin remember sometimes you need to get soaked to remember the steps. Remember he is a young Jetti who needs to learn. Your patience will get him a long way.

He is doing great repetition, common sense, a lot of multitasking and he will succeed✌🏻😎 god job Gavin

[@Michelselle]

Great job Gavin and Mitch. Not easy to train someone when you are used to doing it all yourself, but you were great with him Gavin. He seems to want to learn and is willing to listen. I think he will be a good fit and will get the hang of it the more he does it.

[@robertwolf3006]

Looks like he’s picking it up ok 👍🏻

[@stuartnash3529]

Best way to learn is hands on He doing fine You can’t beat experience Well done

[@sannehansen4156]

It looks so easy when you do it, but Mitch does his best, he listens and tries to put your words into action, he will get there, but he has some big shoes to fill. Give him time! You didn't learn it overnight either.

[@deanhawk3217]

Mitch did really well wish him all the best on the job Watching from London England UK

[@georgefitter7656]

It’s all in the attitude. If he has a good work ethic and an accommodating attitude, half your job educating him on the finer skills of drain cleaning are done. Patience and giving good tips will work miracles. You’re a great teacher Gavin!

[@cheryleking6543]

Hi Gavin and Mitch, A great test will be if the nozzle gets stuck, how will he fix it...I hope it doesnt..You have a great teacher Mitch, hang in there..Stay Safe Watching from Tassie ❤️🙏👍🤗

[@barbaramoyer9884]

Well it depends on the teacher I think he's got a good teacher😊

[@ReallyMaxPayload]

#1 reason for saying he's a keeper - he listened and reacted to what you said. He might not have your experience but it seems like he's willing to learn.

Mitchell has potential if he slows down a bit and learns the twists and turns of the trade. These things do however come with time. He does seem eager to learn though and appears to be a quick study. Another great video Gavin. Hello to Mrs D and the Sweet Peas.

Has a darn good teacher so no reason for him to not be good? Its hard standing there teaching someone to work like you do, been there sir. Think he will be a good student for sure.

Your training is very good for the young man. He is learning all that you are showing him.😊😊

[@JohnnyConcrete67]

Rooots 😂 Well done Mitch 👍👍👍

[@AquaPeet]

I'm an armchair viewer so take it with a grain of unexperienced salt... but I think he has a lot to learn. But if he's willing and he can remember as he does, pretty sure you can teach him the skills Gavin! :) Oh and good attitude is half the gain. Ans he's got it! :D

[@Yackhammer75]

He's eager to do good in front of the boss so he's trying to hard to go fast. We've all done it no problems with it though, he'll settle down as he gets used to it. The best teacher is experience so just keep being a good guide and I think Mitch will make a good addition to the team. Do keep on the standing back from the pipe thing though. Safety, safety, safety. Don't want him getting hurt with a rock coming out at those speeds.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

😂😂😂 New broom 🧹🧹🧹 sweep clean 😲😀😀😂😂😂

[@CoachKarin]

He already has a lot of skill and will make a great addition to the team, just don’t become a micromanager, allow him to ask questions. So it’s not just your decision it’s his to😉

[@nancycraig7614]

He listened well and seem to be trying hard learning is part of theprocess

[@kathallport8747]

he's a keeper 😎👍

[@JP-lz3vk]

What you want is competence and enthusiasm for the job. Competence to work out what you're dealing with, work out a plan of action and clear the drains. Enthusiasm to deal with customers, clean up after you're done and keep driving from job to job. I'm sure Mitch has most of that already, which is why you took him on. There's plenty of work in Brisbane's drains to keep him busy and wages earned.

[@davidm4234]

Give him time and practice all will improve try to remember what it was like when you first started😊

[@bedef1980]

Mitch has real potential I reckon. Must have been watching your vids for sure cos he almost seemed to do things before you mentioned it 👍👍👍

Just a little more tan and more training by the master plumber (you) on method and ethics and he should turn into a well trained plumber. A lot depends on what type of person he wants to become. He has a good teacher and role model!

[@MrBillchair]

@GavThePooAndRootMaster Gavin, great to see you training up a young boy, instead of taking the easy ROOT of hiring an out of work experienced plumber. When you hired him, was he completely green behind the ears, or had he had some experience, or Tafe education on caning Cane toads, ripping through roots, loosening stools, avoiding wet wipe tangles etc? I Guess all that comes with experience, like NOT pushing poo 💩uphill! 😅

[@kimdowty8931]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@KathrinWallace]

Good job 👍🏽

[@roadmonitoroz]

10:46 If that was me, I'd be building a universal nice see through splash guard for that situation. It would attach to the down pipe (quick attach / release) and would stop spray above 400mm. This means no sewerage / muddy water in the face / on my shirt.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

I have thought 🤔🤔 of something like that long ago 💭💭

[@jeanmason4642]

Yes he will make the grade. X

[@kanthvickram4490]

Mitch, is doing like a Pro, really, his arms twisting the pipe is excellent; in and out with the nozzle is great; only thing , at first he left the pipe real far away and eventually he brought it closer to him. He is energetic and listens to the INSTRUCTOR, this wood help a lot. IF HE REALLY WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU...HE WILL. HE CAN. He got potential. He has to make up his mind ''this is what he wants'' then there won't be a problem. Another step for him to deal with is SEWER, real sewer, if he pulls through with that, then he is good to go; then next hurdle will be buying the van and equipments. THIS IS A LONG FOR HIM, AND THIS IS WHY HE HAS TO ASK HIMSELF ''IS THIS JOB IS FOR HIM''. If it is yes, then no issues, and get on with. MITCH, YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT. Good luck.

[@kanthvickram4490]

Correction: WOULD help a lot.

I think Mitch will be fine. Half of this is your teaching, and half is just the experience time. Even when you turn him loose solo, tell him he can call you for help if needed.It may take several years for him to gain the experience and confidence that you have. So be patient with him.

[@tomregan4893]

Need to show him the team members. Haven’t been seen in quite a while. Traffic Control would have been useful on the open road you were on there. As well as supervisor Toad and mad all for assistance. Need to reincorporate them in your videos.

[@omervandenbelt]

When you're eager to learn you'll learn. Although, he has to learn to use his hands to keep the rag in place. Now, he has a wet shoe and a wet sock for the rest of the day. Why did he keep his foot there, although it was useless, because there was no rag to be kept in place.

[@llyodreeves4657]

All the best for Christmas Gavin an all

Ollie did a “training” video about jetting stuff maybe have Mitch watch it. It would be a good learning video.

[@carolrice2063]

Wait until he gets his First Hose Stuck and Then let him decide what he needs to get it unstuck, WITHOUT ANY KIND OF HELP FROM THE BOSS and Then you will know if he can do the Job AND GET IT OUT and he will get the Best Experience....... and the Company that I was years ago working for we only had the Iron Snake to work with and I would of loved to have the Water Pressure Type of Sewer Service but he was a Old Fashioned guy........

[@GunfighterWyo]

Gavin, if I remember correctly, you said the jet has about 7000 psi and isn't something you want to get hit by whatever it discharges from the pipe. You might want him to wear safety glasses.... He seems to take instructions well. But, he seems to forget about personal safety by standing in front of the opening rather than to one side as you directed.
