It does indeed appear that the sky could be the limit as far as working for this company goes, Dan.

Would you believe we have a concrete crew from Tennessee down here in Louisiana pouring our piers and footers??!??

[Clonehead]

Here is a shot of me on what is the highest profile job in KC right now. About three weeks ago, there was a landslide-type collapse under the main interchange of highways 470-435 in KC and part of the highway collapsed causing the closure of that part of the interchange. Well, my company has been contracted to erect and place the reinforcing steel to replace the ruined section and get the interchange open again. The job was to take 5 months worth of work and roughly 5 million dollars to replace and was contracted to happen in a month and a half. That means round the clock work for some of em. It is my understanding that the general contractor that won the contract will get a $40,000 bonus per day that the work is completed prior to the contracted date. If they are late, it is a $40k per day fine.

The skeleton of a pier that is next to me will be 75 foot long and weigh approx 5 tonnes or 10,000 lbs. Most of that will go into the ground into a drilled hole and help support the cap beam that will support the deck that we will build later.

That's a hell of a project, my man.  Good to see you're working again, though I'd almost rather you didn't start til the end of August so we could snatch you away to FL!

[Clonehead]

LOL, I had a hell of a first week back, that's for sure. I ended up working 40 hours regular and 13 overtime in the heat of the summer. By yesterday's quitting time, I felt like hell. My feet were sore from standing on concrete all day, I had blisters on my blisters, and the sun burnt thru my sunscreen enough to form blisters on my nose, forehead, and arms. I get my first paycheck on Tuesday and it should be massive. This company is the biggest rebar placement outfit in the City and they have loads of work going right now including two hospital expansions, two hospital parking garages, the bridge of death "pictured above" , a water treatment plant, a soccer stadium, and some retaining wall work down at brush creek. We have a sizable job coming up which is a new casino up by the Nascar track. I believe it is to be the new Hard Rock Cafe casino.

Good to see you have plenty of work ahead of you Clint. I know how you feel about all the free tanning...

[Clonehead]

Since I posted that last pic, I moved back to the company that I have worked for the last three years f or the most part.

Here is a shot of me on the roof of the Warrensburg Hospital expansion wondering how I am going to be able to efficiently move with all of those clothes on.

[Tamer]

Looks kinda cold out there Clint! Good to see you still working!

[SITHHAPPENS]

i feel your pain clint i have dabbled in that kind torture on the body but great money be careful out there

[Clonehead]

Oh yeah, I am careful. I am just thankful that we are still working. Winter is usually a slow time for us and I don't expect it to be any different this year so I am a practiced nervous about the aspects for work this winter but make the best of any time off that I get.
We are still at that hospital job for as ling as it lasts.

[Clonehead]

got a new pic here of me hanging on a wall that I had just set a rebar curtain in at Warrensburg's hospital.

You need to go to work with a Stormtrooper/Fett/Clone trooper helmet on one day

[Tamer]

There Clint is, hanging off of something.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Clin't that looks like fun but I know is some hard work!

[Clonehead]

got some pics for you guys of the new stamping plant project for Ford that we started this week.
the base slab with walls for this pit that will sit below the building will hold over 120 tonnes of steel reinforcement and just the slab below the walls will take 150 concrete trucks worth to pour.
