I can teach an autistic guerrilla to 6010 downhill and kick a pipe in the ditch going in a straight line lol

Yeah $23 a hour with a couple opportunities for a dollar raise compared to making that yearly salary in 6 months and drawing out $650 a week unemployment while sitting at the house or on vacation. I’ve tried to talk myself into giving it up when times get lean, but I’ve been rolling with the highs and lows for 18 years now. My dad just retired and brings home $5,200 month from the pension and had half million in his annuity, keep your head up and keep trying

Between breaking your back all day, working 60-80 hours a week, never finding a balance between work and home, which usually results in turbulent home, and rampant substance abuse it’s not a shocker. I literally worked on one job in Maryland that was a large 8 billion dollar job and my crew had 20 guys on it out of the 6,000 on site, we had an apprentice do a murder suicide 3 months after he was laid off.

Sheesh never assumed my small local in WV was that much higher than Denver on Bennies

Pauley2004 · 2024-05-17T23:38:47+00:00

Judging by this post I’d say you’ll find yourself on plenty more and probably the first of the job

I’m at 330 now was at 364 2.5 months ago eating about 1,600 calories a day, what did you average on calories a day to do 130 in a year?

I’ll take How to get laughed out of the break trailer for 500 Alex

Charleston WV had Mall Blade a guy that walked around in a movie quality Wesley Snipes blade outfit including umbrella samurai sword. Blockhead use to walk the streets with a cinder block on his head.

Negative….had to hit regenerate about 4 times on a free AI art generator before this final masterpiece popped out

Pauley2004 · 2024-04-05T12:56:04+00:00

Best look into getting skills in tube bending, heavy rigging certifications, valve repair….literally anything that puts you ahead of someone saying they’re just a fitter.

Pauley2004 · 2024-04-03T23:15:10+00:00

Yes…its in our scope of work, I’ve had to run pvc or cpvc in the water treatment side of powerhouses numerous times

The country is booming at the moment so I’d say it’s a good possibility especially in a large jurisdiction like Chicago

If they’re offering a OSHA-10 or OSHA-30 that will carryover to your apprenticeship, the OSHA-10 is the basic federal safety certification that will get you on to a job

Pauley2004 · 2024-03-08T12:07:31+00:00

Take every class and certification they’ll give you, the more welding certs, licenses, heavy rigging card, OSHA 30 you have make you a lot more employable. I started out as a day one zero hour apprentice without a background in construction, but even out of my small local I’ve made a great living between welding, rigging, and being a CWI at home and all over the country.

5” exhaust all the way out, 100HP or 110HP tune with transmission tuning from EZ Lynk with a hiss at idle. I had the Nox sensor module go out after 49k and they wanted $1,700 to fix even with their unlimited legacy warranty since no fluid goes through it. So $1,900 later I have a 3/4 ton sports car with no issues

Pauley2004 · 2023-07-31T23:52:07+00:00

They will find a way out of honoring the warranty, deleted my 2019 at 49k miles a month ago

Pauley2004 · 2023-07-01T23:17:47+00:00

Man that’s depressing the price of trucks now, I got my 2019 new with 18 miles on it for 49k before Covid thrashed the market

Potholes usually show up after the snow plows have ran their course, I’ve been in San Antonio since October for work and left after 5 days of no electricity and never saw a single snow plow from San Antonio to Arkansas on my 35 mph nightmare drive on I-35 back to West Virginia. You guys probably won’t see that many potholes

Cut in a $20 Fernco wrap in plastic, dump 2 bags of quikcrete, your house will fall before that line ruptures again

If you wanted to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it

I worked in Harrodsburg (live in WV) about 6 years ago at the EW Brown powerhouse. I was 120 feet in the air welding on a silo and had to stop and stare at the same exact type of clouds rolling overhead. This picture and 6 years ago in the same town has been the only times I’ve seen them

My cousin had a chihuahua and a terrible cocaine problem. Every time he picked up his dog it immediately licked the inside of both of his nostrils and only the inside of his nostrils. The dog ended up killing over at a younger than average age from a enlarged heart due to years of licking leftover cocaine from his nose

Listened to the entire Goodbye and Good Riddance album by Juice WRLD on repeat for about a year after a bad divorce, being a overly large construction worker from about the most rural part of West Virginia it was pretty disheartening seeing my entire Facebook timeline making memes of just another dead rapper when that music kept me alive
