What kind of work do y'all do ?

[Georgia-Hawgs]

Dont know if this has been posted before. But what does everybody do for a living? Im just curious. I do just about any kind of construction i can get my hands on. But i do mostly paint and sheetrock work. I use to be part of a television show called elbow room on hgtv. That was cool but didnt last long. I worked for a company called premier homes and contracting and they quit the tv show. I liked it though..lol..

Very nice work Judge.

I am one of those good for nothing, don't ever pay for anything insurance adjuster.  Was in the textile business for several years until they sent it all to Mexico, then roofing, then ran a body shop and then in the adjusting for the last 15yrs or so.  Been good but lots of ups and downs cause I am self employed.

Props to ya' judge for still being able to make a living and not charging astronomical rates...material pricing is making it more and more difficult to keep quality craftsmanship and material up without breaking the customers bank. At least that is what a buddy of mine that is in the same business tells me his challenges are these days.

It's very hard to be competive in the trades now days. Even worse for the no lic trades our friends from cross the border have drove the labor price down so bad they can't even make money half the time while the builder make more and more money. Most houses are not being built as well as they should be due  to high profits and cheap labor and cheap materials. I don't drop my price for any one it is what is but I tell my customers this I always answer my phone and pay me when your happy I mess jobs over price all the time but those are the jobs you didn't want any way lol

process operator. We take the air straight from the atmosphere and separate it. Gaseous oxygen and nitrogen goes in the pipeline for refineries and such. Liquid oxygen and nitrogen goes at holding tanks for trucks to pick up. We also have a 38 MW gas turbine generator with a HRSG. We use the power for the plant and send the steam to a refinery next door for their boilers.

as a kid I was babysitted in the cotton field under the trailer because the babysitter was too young to stay at home...wasn't long I was working for free for my dad...farming and ranching but best of all running dogs most every day to satisfy my ADHD...   then I was in process operations for 32 years and retired...the best part of my job was making improvements that weren't in the books...after retirement I laid off a little while and realized I like working more than not working...so back to work in Safety, permit writing and now as a Planner for Turnarounds at the big plant...had to go through a big learning curve using power point, acrobat, and other programs in the computer...the real work is easy...but I am kind of challenged when it comes to modern technology... it is true...it is harder for old dogs to learn new tricks...but I have been blessed...all the engineers I worked with before retirement are now the big dogs at the big plant and they were always calling be to go back and I eventually did...and so I consider myself very lucky to have them calling...I reckon I had them fooled all them years...   I probably will work till I am 70 years old if the good lord allows me to do so...
