When the opportunity to hang out with my brother Joseph came along in the form of helping him install ducted air-conditioning units in houses, it sounded interesting. After helping him out for a while I discovered that this sort of work is actually very enjoyable and gives a great sense of achievement at the end. It also was great to get a better understanding of just what it is that Joseph gets up to every day.

I'm not sure that I could call myself an air-conditioning man, but it was fun to learn and chat and hang out with Joseph during those times.

Preparing the ducts on the ground makes life a lot easier.
