导读：听说休斯顿的水管工因冬季严寒而接到大量服务电话后，新泽西州的一位水管工一家三口和他的徒弟一路开车到德克萨斯州帮忙。

 

Andrew Mitchell is the owner of Mitchell's Plumbing & Heating in Morristown, New Jersey.

Mitchell and his wife, Kisha, drove more than 1,500 miles with their 2-year-old son after hearing that Houston homeowners had to wait weeks to book a plumber（水管工）. Mitchell's apprentice Isaiah also went with them, who works for Mitchell to learn the skills.

安德鲁·米切尔（Andrew Mitchell）是新泽西州莫里斯镇米切尔水暖公司的老板。米切尔和他的妻子基莎，在听说休斯顿的房主要等几个星期才能预约水管工后，带着2岁的儿子驱车1500多英里。米切尔的徒弟以赛亚也和他们一起去了，他为米切尔工作，学习技能。

Before leaving New Jersey, they bought as many plumbing supplies as they could afford, because those items are now hard to find in Texas. On the drive down, Mitchell connected with local plumbing companies that were looking for help. "By the time we got here, there was already about four or five jobs lined up," Kisha said. "Since we've been here, it has really been nonstop."

在离开新泽西州之前，他们购买了尽可能多的管道用品，因为这些用品目前在德克萨斯州很难找到。在路上，米切尔与当地寻求帮助的管道公司取得了联系。基莎说：“当我们到这里的时候，已经有四五个工作岗位在排队。自从我们来到这里，就真的是一刻不停。”
