Artwork in the Boiler Room with Benoure's Gary Morin

So you grew up in your family in the trades, but was there a family or your dad, was it a family business or was it mostly working for other companies? What was your experience of the companies that your family was kind of involved with as you were growing up?

Yeah, so kind of started with my grandfather.

So he worked at Pixie Alley all his life for PC construction.

Now he's a master carpenter along with my uncle.

So, I mean, I was building decks with him when I was like six or seven years old, learning how to hold nails the right way so you could hammer nails real fast.

It was kind of a cool trick to learn back in the day.

My dad's brother, my uncle, he was a master electrician.

and when i was really young probably 10 or 12 we clearly rewired my house and then with my dad we did all the plumbing over and stuff and i just kind of took a liking to that and he was more of a mechanical fitting uh he was a like a fitter welder on that side so when i was young in high school i get to experience some of that from a big boiler room level so and i really took a liking to that it's just big big pipe it was always you know kind of what we call the show pipe A lot of the rough and stuff gets buried in the walls.

You never see it again.

But in a boiler room, it's there forever to see.

It's kind of like artwork.

It's really the heart of the system.

You know, it's what's you know, heat up the system, heat up the building.

That thing's going to stay running.

It's going to be piped right.

So it was a lot of fun.

That's cool.

Yeah.

And obviously people can see if they go to like Benor's LinkedIn page today, they can see actually like images of what you're talking about, where like literally artwork, the way that some of these systems look when they're installed and they're just, they're literally beautiful.

I mean, so that's something that struck you early, like when you were kind of getting involved with that.

Yeah, and what I love about Vinor is we still hold true to the craftsmanship of the trade, which is soldering.

A lot of our crews still perform that, which is great.

You know, there's a lot of pro press now, some plastic, you know, pipe and fittings and stuff that people do nowadays, but it just kind of takes away from the craftsmanship of it because... you know, a press tool, literally anybody can do it, but it's, it's really a craftsmanship, but you can see, go in there and see a soldered system.

They do it the right way.

Wow.
