Normally I laugh when I see some of the shit you want to buy. But I'd actually wear those.

 

That site is a gold mine man, put them on sale watch, wait a few months, and they'll be like $100 derrivah'd. 

[peteRS]

Wtf?

 

I texted the guy that I already told I wasn't holding the car for that I'd sold it and Good luck with his search...Nekminit...raving mad Houso chock full of goon and winnie reds and stuffed crust home delivered pizza is on the phone to me saying that 'we' had a deal...I lol'd at her a bunch, then gave her the reversing truck.

[Adam]

What a pussy. Gets his mum to call up. "Yeah no worries love, I'll just go and pick the car back up from the buyer just in case your son decides to buy"

Heres my work post for Zac +whoever can be bothered reading it

Didn't do much technical today, mainly just nut and bolt work. which is what a lot of my job is.
Had to remove these two one way valves.  Thing they for a steam line.(Orange tag on each)

 

marked each valve A and B


So i un did these lines

undid this flange (Lol)



and the other flange (lol)

 

pulled each pin from what i think is an indicator box or something

 

loosed each of these nuts that hold the indicator box things to the side of the valve

then a rigger come down and put some slings around them and took the weight so i could remove the nuts and drag them indicator box things off and on the ground

indicator box things

 

 

main tools i used today (i used others today aswell) 

Some riggers stuff





We had to lower each valve down separately, took forever because of all the pipes above of us and the lack of crane travel.But thats the riggers problem 50mm nuts on each bit of stud bar i think there was 24bit of stub bar for each valve flange and there were 3 flanged to take off, they were tight as , no anti seize used before, but maybe there was a reason for it i dunno. but my arm is a bit sore from swinging the hammer, probably wouldn't last long if i had to use it to finger bash a chick.

 

and this is what my clean work clothes looked like after today


i didn't get any more photos got we got pretty busy with the rigging side of it, i'll get some tomorrow. 

Its not everyones cup of tea, but i enjoy working with my hands, and now I'm back at the apartment (thats being paid for) i feel like it was worth it. Ive got a VF SV6 wagon as a hire car, this company pays for fuel (share between 3 people) and if/when i get home in 6 weeks i'll have saved enough cash from this job to go buy a brand new WR450F.

on saying that after the job is finished i'm not guarenteed anything after it. Doesn't bother me cause of my life situation but it might be daunting to other people. But I'm a good tradesman, and have pretty good knowledge of power generation stuff. I'll find work somewhere. (I know it sounds big headed/cocky, but its true) and people aren't gonna stop buying power, so there will always be work in power stations around the world.


Anyway if you read all that go get yourself a beer!

The few apples I had were all on the ground this morning (fuckng possums) but I should score a good crop of pears and Figs. My artichokes are flowering too...which means I got well lazy with them, but they look awesome
