that's a beeeeautiful thing...

I’m gonna hear it after this last order since I’m taking the wife and boys camping next month to some Halloween camp site, they have the whole place done up, hay rides, pumpkin patch, haunted house. Should be a good time but she’s gonna be mad I bought more parts.

Got some good news today, brother in law got me a letter of recommendation with local 578 pile drivers! He said they’ll start me off as a 2nd year apprentice which is a pay cut but better than side work I need the insurance. Once I’m a journeymen I’ll be close to 50/hr. Free training at their schools too.

Congrats, that's great news. Years ago i managed a lot of construction on the Hudson River and worked a lot with NJ dock builders local 1556.

Good bunch of guys, well trained and super professional. Tough work but the union really kept the guys safe and well trained. Which is good, cuz it's the kind of work where taking chances gets ya killed.
