Man, soft hood and all.  Looks like you got it made brotha.  Was that a heater I heard runnin in the background as well or are you in a live plant?  Where are you working at and what are you workin on?

yea its pretty nice where im at right now,and that is a heater you were hearing.i am currently at a paper mill in ms,at this mill 90% of all the pipe is stainless,and the mill is huge.They are adding a crystaliser unit to the plant,that is where i am in the video, on the top deck about 120 ft up,hooch is a must have up there,heater and soft hood is just a perk of the job.

nice video, hey whats wrong with a gravy job? I tig stainless pipe allday in a shop man can't get any more gravy then that but I must say that the gravy stuff that I'm doing doesn't pay worth a darn. Where in Ms. are ya at?
Parent - - By jbeard (*) Date 01-19-2008 23:30
the mill is in monticello ms.I drive 76 miles one way from home,its all good work if your a good tig hand,the pay is 23 and 50,usually dont work no more than 40 hrs a week,it aint bad money to be at the house.

not bad it's alot more then what I make but not sure if you get health, dental and 401K though but still that isn't bad
Parent - - By jbeard (*) Date 01-20-2008 17:25
as a matter of fact they do offer all of that stuff,i havent been there long enough to receive any of it yet.One of the cool deals they also have is you get safety bucks every week if no one gets hurt,they let you buy shirts,bibs,etc...Im gonna try sticking with them until i get my rig all together.

cool yeah I just bought me a sa 200 and kinda doing the same thing trying to save more to maybe get a rig together oneday. I'm looking right now to try and find something around here to make more money. They say Louisiana is the place where it's booming but I don't know i don't see a whole heck of alot in the paper and stuff so who knows.

Thanks I'm not sure but seems like maybe I seen that name in my job hotsheet book but not sure. Thanks for the name I'm gonna look into it. I was hoping to find something north of lake ponchatrain but thats not gonna happen I realize I will have to drive into New Orleans but it is just trying to find something that pays over 20 an hour to be worth the drive you know? Morrison MS I looked up is about 2 hours from me little far but I guess I'll go wherever I gotta go for the work. Thanks
