AKwelder Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 I found a new phrase that is tough to hear. Got up this morning and the wife left me a note "Problem, water was coming out of the ceiling last night!" Well, good morning. So I came home from work early, climbed up on the roof to see what we had Well when I got the snow cleared Vent melting snow next to the stack. So we climbed into the attic, and rooted around and found the spot, opened up the vapor barrier More to come Quote

Tony I am glad you like it Tony, thank you for having me down. He leak was caught early, I think it will be more of an inconvenience then a problem. Worst case we quit putting off the new shingles Quote

AKwelder Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 I am currently on the north side of atiguin pass working on a bugger of a repair. We are in a hole with 500,000 gallons of water coming in every day and it is 20 below, which makes it fun for the crew keeping the hole open. We are wrapping up but it has been a challenge. We need to drive 1-1/2 hours each way from the camp on the famous haul road. They are burning rod and we are cutting steel. The crane is freezing up and the three brand new gen sets from cat have a new safety feature that makes them shut down, so we had two get two guys out from cat to "re-map the parameters". Interesting fact, the shop rate for cat in Deadhorse Alaska is 237/ hr Quote
TroyDairy Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 The project you were talking of with the kink/sag in pipe? Quote
AKwelder Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 The project you were talking of with the kink/sag in pipe? Yep, nothing is horrible, just maintenance before things are bad. Fairly routine but very involved Quote
AKwelder Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 Ahh. The Arctic, Yesterday it was -22* and a 35 mph wind, then add the blowing snow and we had visibility of about 50 feet on the road, lost site of the end of my hood at the job site. It was not very pleasant to work out doors, and driving was a bit tense Quote
AKwelder Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Well another site done, moving into cell range soon and away from company provided wi-fi with blocks on posting pictures. I have a few for you guys Quote

AKwelder Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Notice that heavy haul is on asphalt and there are lines on the road? This was taken at milepost 354 on the dalton highway, 413 is the oil field, ice road my butt! Quote
