Boilermaker. This was in a power generating station that burns coal. It's an older plant, built in the 50s. They use it mostly for back up during extreme temps and / or when another plant in the system is down for maintenance or repair.
It can be dangerous but it's mostly just dirty and rough. I've been in it for over 20 years and still enjoy it. Just wish my health would cooperate.
The coal dust and ash has me all stuffed up today. I wore a dust mask most of the time I was there but I'm still sniffling.
Reminds me of seeing my dad's worksite as a kid.
He was a fitter welder / welding engineer and was known in the shop as "the impossibilist" - 'the man who can figure out how to adhere 2 metals who really shouldn't adhere in the first place' (or so a plaque he got from work once read!)
Before I was born he got hazard pay for scrambling up scaffolding and making the metal structure that drive-in movie screens were built out of. He also designed a 24' overhang at a mall - without having to have anything touch the ground.

This is partly work.....it's my room in the mine camp....
Its like a mini motel room! Do you have to share it, when your not there?This is partly work.....it's my room in the mine camp....
Thanks Jezter!
No - when I moved here I put that as a stipulation. I would not share or I would stay at the site where I was.... They agreed.,
Thats good! You need your own space, and it would be a pain to clean it out every week or two.
Thanks Jezter!
That's why the TV is supplied and the cupboards lockable both sides of it....but I've got too much stuff to keep putting it away.
The last site I left behind my TV, TV stand, desk with hitch and office chair....would fit here.
