The Plumbette is Rebecca’s blog on all things plumbing, including experiences working in a ‘man’s world’. It’s Plumbing worth blogging about! This blog is written for men and women who haven’t a clue about plumbing and want to know more, for plumbers and apprentices who can relate to Rebecca’s experiences and for girls who wish to embark on a career as a plumber or a male-dominant job. It’s really for anyone who wants to read it and be inspired or thankful that they don’t get to deal with what plumbers deal with everyday!
This blog is NOT a tool to do your own plumbing handiwork. All plumbing should be carried out by a licensed Plumber. If you require the services of a plumber in your local area in QLD please head to the Master Plumbers Association of QLD’s website and enter your postcode. For all other areas in Australia, enquire at your local Reece or Tradelink store for a reputable plumber and make sure they have a GOLD Card BSA license.
