what do you do? - ruffy jnr - 01-10-2009

saw this concept of a thread on another forum, made for an interesting thread.

so what do you do for work?

im currently a confined space contractor for sydney water.

its definetly one of the more labour intense jobs i have had, basically involves spending long periods of time in a pipe that runs from blacktown and down to st lenoards and beyond, re surfacing the inside while it has live flow.

cheers
