Did you mean 10 day or 10 hour min?
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 06-25-2010 00:54
10 hrs. It has turned into about 40 hrs.

We were working on the Ferry Landings in Galveston

Shoot Cactus, I'll come down. I'm not close and don't care if it's only 10 hours! Experience is experience and if ya'll could handle the annoying roar of a ranger 8 for 10 hours!! LoL!! Do I have to wear pink? Ferry landings.....I know, bad joke......

Unfortunately(but luckily) I am putting up a fence that got pushed over in our floods next week and doing some work for Nashville. Keep me in mind though, I have no problem with travel, listening and learning. If I need to weld brackets to hold porta johns in place in order to prove myself.....no problem, when do I start! I'll do my best to lay down the prettiest beads anyone will ever see on a porta john bracket!

We finished that job. However, I do know where a Light pole is that probably has a crack in it ! Shad can give you directions. He knows the spot very well

LMAO!! Originally I had a little comment about that but I try and save my brutal humor for when people get to know me better. Besides, smart azz comments in text don't work that well! Made a good friend upset one day in a text message, he called and said, "what??" then I repeated and it was all better! Mentioned something about sarcasm. LoL!

Parent - By Cumminsguy71 (*****) Date 06-27-2010 11:33
That's alright Shad, it's all in good fun! At least you can have some satisfaction in knowing that you at least bent the pole!
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 06-27-2010 05:46

Were you guys working on the Bolivar side or the Galveston side...???

   Hay Cactus do you ever work on the Ferries ( Boats ) or is that ship yard stuff...???   It looks like fun stuff to weld on..

  Why they don't have to rebuild those landings more is beyond me.... Those guys are hard on stuff..!!!
