New Job is Killing Me

[Charley Davidson]

Working 60+ hours a week in this heat fabricating extremely heavy stuff mostly each unit is a one man job. Bending, kneeling on the floor, laying on your back/side, crawling inside small openings is just killing me. Absolutely no time or energy for my shop.

Here's some pics of some of what I do. At least my welding skills are getting better. Mostly galv. with some stainless jobs

I now the feeling. Was working 50 hours+ on midnight shift and almost fell asleep driving home. I've decided to take a break and only work 45 hours for a few weeks.

Hey Charley - what are those things in the pictures? I know one looks like an air duct but I am unsure about the others, the two large round pieces look like mufflers for large engines???


OH and I just wanted to ask if you've ever heard the old saying about "What's the difference between welders and puppies"?






The answer is - Puppies quit whining after 6 weeks!

the long tubes go inside of the bigger tubes to make a big muffle for giant hvac system
