Tim and John record from the SkillsUSA competition in Atlanta. We kick it off with Brandon Hudson, Director of Workforce Development, SkillsUSA, and then we talk to two Skills winners, Charlie Goode from the plumbing competition and Tristan Coates from the carpentry category.

This episode of Appetite for Construction is brought to you by Webstone. Protect the entire system with Webstone’s NEW Sediment Filter. Its spin-down design protects against rust, dirt, sand and other suspended particles, while the multi-mode handle lets you filter, bypass, clean or stop flow. And with Webstone’s Twist-to-Clear feature, accumulated debris can be flushed through the integrated hose drain, making service fast and simple. Plus, G-Union connections help simplify installation.
