Phaze 1 is wrapping up, and I don't have it in me to brave putting 3 more of these silos together in Nevada, even if we are working nights.....the heat kills me to death!

NORTH DAKOTA.........who can get a well rounded, highly qualified hand a good gig up there?

:lol:

You're more than welcome to come join me in Phoenix... :lol: 

Only 110-115*F here.  90* at 6am when shift starts on my inspection job.  That would probably be the high in ND.

Good luck.

Have a Great Day,  Brent

50's in the morning and maybe,possibly,,75 by supper. But you can't carry your gun to work and all welding is uphill. :)

Come on down here bro.   Arkansas will get you acclimated to rain forest like humidity and 100F weather....if you can handle this the desert will seem easy.  Except for the winter weather but you got that covered don't ya.

Man.......I don't think I would last a week.....
Parent - - By Sourdough (****) Date 06-22-2012 03:56
Can weld uphill quite well, actually. Thats what I did for years, till I got on a few things that were round.....

Sourdough are you crazy? don't go to nodak. It sucks up there in the summer just as bad as it does in the winter. The mosquitos will litterally eat you alive in someplaces.  I came back to the fifthwheel one hot day up there and laid my sweaty welding shirt on the back of the rig and went inside. When I went to retrieve it some hours later they had ate a hole in the armpits.  But if you want to go up there and pipeline I believe Flint and Hettinger are hiring. Let know if you need some numbers.

If I were you I would call up Tomahawk pipeline services out of Sheridan WY and see about landing a job out there by Greenriver.
Parent - - By Sourdough (****) Date 06-27-2012 03:59
Tomahawk in Sheridan huh?

That's an awefully low wage for working in a dump like Green River....just sayin.

The last time I was there, I ended up in a fistfight with some drunk stripper that broke a bottle on my face....it wasn't good. For her.

Sourdough,
Fun Times doing the "Barroom Blitz" at the Mast down on "Whiskey Row" in Green River eh?
Wuzzat back in '05? Seems like I heard about that one.
Parent - By Sourdough (****) Date 06-27-2012 23:21
Shhhhh.
Parent - - By weaver (***) Date 06-26-2012 00:46
Just another fun part of that part of the country. I think I'm going back there in the winter when all the ninnies go home
Parent - By leterburn (**) Date 06-26-2012 02:22
Weaver,
There's plenty of them here now - you're not missing anything by not being here and having to put up with them.

They say I am crazy. But I'm not as convinced as those who don't see the method behind the madness, because everything in my mind makes perfect sense to me.....:lol:

Billy.......I'm gonna go up there just to say I was there, and to make a little splash. I just want to know what the hourly is, because I have heard 150, but I have also heard that the hacks are as bad as they have ever been up there, and they don't have any problem cutting throats at 60......???!*/

I swear, if I see one more jackass with a big smart grin tell me he's working for less because the rest of us charge too much, I'm gonna spit right in his face and worry about the aftermath, after the math.....

Parent - By ibeweldingsum (***) Date 06-27-2012 01:29
Yep working for elite construction 40/16/100
