View from my office. What does everyone else do all day?

[freakshow12]

As the title states. I do dirt work for a living. Have a business with my dad. We have track hoes, rock trucks, bobcats, rubber tired backhoes, gravel trucks.... On and on. We got it. Lol.

I work moving dirt and rocks too as well as coal, ore, salt and occasionally grain on the Great Lakes, kind of like a big dump truck- but up to 21,000 tons in a load. Spend a lot of work time in an "office" in the engine room and am on watch from 11:30 till 3:30 every afternoon and night plus usually a couple hours a day doing miscellaneous repair work. For the next few days we're down and replacing a crankshaft in one of the main ALCO V-16 Diesels (locomotive engines) so have some extra wrench time

Great pictures. Both jobs sound very cool.

My view changes on a daily bases, but here are some shots of our shop, and a recently completed job.

Engineered stone shower with custom shampoo box, and kitchen sink made by hand from engineered stone. It's like manufacture granite, but it's made with crushed quartz aggregate and epoxy and formed into a slab. 3/4" thick

I'm a plumber. Right now I'm getting my butt kicked by a 51 year old tub/shower valve. No water was getting to the shower head. I tried to unthread the pipe between the valve and shower head, but it broke, leaving threads inside the valve. If I can remove the bits of threads left in there and avoid replacing the entire valve, I'll save this family a few hundred dollars. Not sure it will work, but I'm making the effort.

Unfortunately I cannot take photos inside my lab. It's against the top secret/national security rules and all that.

I work in an electronics lab where we build and test computers that will be used in the vehicles that will be taking our boys back to the moon soon.

Here's public info on the systems I work on. I don't work for NASA, but for a subcontractor.

[freakshow12]

So far guys I am a bit dissapointed. Everybody's office is better than mine. Lol

The secrecy of my job prevents me from knowing what I'm doing.

I hope there are no plumber's cracks to view at your job site!?

You're a good person for trying. Too many wouldn't bother.
