You can use them upside down, just make sure to also turn it back to front and left to right so the polarity of all three phases are reversed.

About 10 years ago I bent the rod for the floatie thing in my toilet to stop it from running all the time, so I have 10 years of field experience.

Thanks, I don't know if they'll want me, seems like they're mostly looking for new high school grads and I am well-removed from my high school years. But maybe my experience with coding will be an asset, somehow.

Seems I do have a local plumbers' union, and it looks like they are accepting applications. Thanks!

I suppose my question is more how do I do A B and C? is it all just knowing someone?

How do you do it? I wouldn't mind being a plumber but I have no idea how I'd get started. I don't even know what tools I'd need.

The trick is being kind and attentive and listening to their needs. The funny comes from your understanding of them.
