mike Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well i wrapped things up in West Des Moines last week and I am off to Cedar Rapids for my next project. I thought I was going to get sent out to nebraska for awhile but that didn't go through. I will be on an Alliant Energy coal fired power plant restoration til atleast august it sounds like. It is closer to home for me but will be working alot of hours it sounds like. I hope to get home every other weekend but if not the wife and kids will come out and stay the weekend with me. From what the foreman said it sounds like in the next week or two we will be starting on 7 12hr days for awhile, alot of hours but good money. I think i guy better save all the cash he can right now.

Good luck buddy. I was in that boat til this project came up shaun, my project was winding down i didn't have a place to go as of a few days ago, this job came in at the right time. I know what it feels like and it isn't fun:( Hopefully this job market will pick up pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
