schweeeet! only 8 hours today.last week i worked 3 -12 hour shifts and two eights.
took down lots o` scaffold today,also. tho none inside of any muddy tanks. might make it thru this week,i guestimate,but thats probably it.
the lime mud is used to produce paper. i m working at a paper mill. the mill has shut down production for maintainance. pipefitters electricians,boilermakers and millwrights replace different pumps,valves,etc. inspectors inspect various welds on pretty much everything crucial ,like the boiler welds and inside of that mud tank i was in.
ive been working on a scaffold crew who constructs all the various scaffolds and platforms for the other trades to work off of.
the weirdest place to date was right inside the boiler. could just barely turn around,the space was so narrow. good thing i m not too claustrophobic
at 51,i m the most senior member of our crew. guess i must be holding my own,i m still there
not ready for the pasture just yet,now if i can just hold out 4 more years till retirement....*insert praying smiley here*
well, i m off to get some rest.
later,folks,
brad
