Jun 14, 2015I do a lot of different kinds of work. I've averaged 3,000 hours at work a year for over a decade... When I don't work I spend too much money and get into trouble...
The majority of the kind of work I do is Alaskan construction... I work all over the state including remote site work. When I'm working remotely I work no less than 70 hours a week and up to and over 100 hours a week... Making anywhere from $27 to $58 an hour plus benefits and room and board.
Alaska is as crazy as a place as you have heard it is... There's 5 multibillion dollar industries here and a workforce under 500,000 people... There's a lot of "cowboy" type of alpha dudes here like me trying to get more of our fair share. I don't hardly record what my work... But I still have 100's of interesting videos spread across my old phones and old SD cards... If there is any interest I'll upload more.
I found these three on this phone and thought they look kinda cool...
This is in Prudhoe Bay in a flow station.. I'm rigging up 1,000 pound pieces of pipe and lowering them down 70 feet to my men on the floor. The wind from outside is hitting the air floor from the giant cooling fan and causing mini tornadoes all around me.
This is scaffold I was building in the most remote part of the Trans Alaska Pipeline... Me and my men, building supplies and tools had to be flown there by helicopter and move the stuff around by snowmobile. I haven't shaved in 4 weeks.
This is when I was working on the runway of JBER... Anchorage's air force base during an air show... That's a B52 taking off.
