A: In Indiana, working on a project like installing a grease trap typically requires a valid license. If your license was expired at the time of the job, this could potentially be a problem, especially if licensing is a legal requirement for the work performed.

However, since you mentioned you were an apprentice and had the assistance of a licensed journeyman, it's important to understand the specifics of your arrangement. If the licensed journeyman was responsible for overseeing the work and ensuring compliance with legal requirements, this may mitigate your situation.

It's advisable to review the licensing requirements in Indiana for the type of work you performed. If there was a violation due to your expired license, you should consider renewing your license as soon as possible and understanding any potential legal implications of having worked with an expired license.

If you're concerned about the legal ramifications, it may be wise to consult with an attorney familiar with licensing laws in your area. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.

Remember, ensuring compliance with licensing regulations is important to avoid potential legal issues and to maintain professional standards in your field. Taking steps to rectify any lapses in licensing can help protect you from possible complications in the future.
