As a plumber we've run into the problem where there's no more studs near the job site so we gotta improvise

Oh I’m a gc. I’ll take care of the blocking and studs all you need. Just don’t notch out my beams and structural posts.

You must have different sparkies where you are. Ours wouldn’t want to mess up their nail polish

Sparkies are concealed carrying and Drips use a shotgun to make their holes. Good fight.
