Spiel, that's awesome man!!!! My oldman used to do the exact same thing at the GM Foundry in St.Catharines before it closed. Brought the scrap metal into the cupalo's... He loved that job.. All by himself, no one to bug him!! I forget what tonnage the one he used was, but it was a biggie.

 

I love it too, but it's taken it's toll on my health. I've been on the little guys all the way up to 500 tonners and got to admit the little guys are more challenging due to the fact that they are fast!

 

Yup, you're your own boss up there. :)

Over 33 years of selling real estate. These days I'm busy starting up a real estate business for my son and teaching folks who are working on getting their real estate licenses. It's the teaching part that takes me to Orillia for two weeks in March. I'll be spending a lot of weeks in Hamilton doing the same thing over the next six months so if any of you are aspiring to a career in real estate sales we may well meet up one of these days.

Unemployed.

 

But for a reason, Full time student at University of Guelph in Management Economics and Industry Finance

 

I got myself a co op position so its very competitive as there is 500 kids waiting to take my spot if I slip up.

 

Really happy with the program, I love it and I think it should work out quite nicely for me in the future

Millwright/Gasfitter presently working doing mechanical rooms for a large high school in Oshawa.

Spiel, I used to run the overhead at Pitt Steel in Markham when I was about 20 and that sucker had

two 30 ton magnets mounted for lifting sheets of steel 15' x 30' by 6" thick for the flame cutters, really enjoyed

doing it as you do.
