    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There is potential there for sure. My opinion, for what it's worth, is for Mitch to watch every one of yours and Ollie's videos. Those are all great training vids for him. Seems like he walked onto the job with no idea how to handle the equipment, work the nozzle, or even where to stand. You will be great Mitch, just binge watch these legends and soak it in!

    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.

    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.

    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! 😅

    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.
