qball’s landfill tour ’08

qball ยท 2008-08-17 22:58

the union sent me to work for an environmental outfit. they needed a loader and excavator guy with hazmat/hazwopper training. we were installing methane extraction lines. i ran a 963 at first. all i did was haul their tools and pull pipe. wicked slopes and smells. then they sent me out of town to run a hoe. diagonal cross slope along side a 16" methane header among other lines.
