-: I can take pride in something that I like doing.
The reason I like it is because it's something
that I wake up to every day knowing
that I'm gonna continue doing this.
And it's actually...
It's fun in very, in a lot of ways.
You can, I mean,
Sometimes you can do overhead welding.
Sometimes you can do vertical up.
But most of the time it's just flat position.
Which is usually what we do a lot.
Unless we have a manifold
that's, y'know, 12 inches outside diameter
and it's you know, as long as, you know, a very long piece,
then we do vertical up for the flanges
and for the branches that are coming out of,
out of the pipe itself.
I like it because...
it's just fun in general.
The challenges are, such as sometimes
I get a job and it's either a very easy job
or it's a very hard job.
By very hard job I mean there's tight corners.
As a welder you will learn as what I mean by tight corners.
Tight corners means that you have, you're welding
on a piece and then it gets to a certain spot
that you can't get to it at a good angle
for you to get a good weld in there.
So you try your best and hope it turns out really good.
And it feels great 'cause you can
you can look at yourself and think,
you know, you can say to yourself, "This is part of you.
"You did this; this is your work."
And I take pride in my work every day.
A lot of people don't, a lot of people say
"Oh, you take a lot of pride in your work don't ya?"
And I say well, "It's my art, it's my work.
"I do it for a living."
