On-site. Stored in 2 500lb drums last I saw. The machine was in the same room as a boiler, That is a no no by current standards but…filled it with nitrogen and it held pressure. I never had occasion to run it.

If you know how to manipulate the pressures and get to a liquid line it goes fast.

Used feather lite a lot growing up in the body shop. Or dynalite. Now if I end up needing filler after the hammer and dolly I use a product called rage by evercoat. It’s amazing sands like a finishing putty.

Got to show off another pic of what I do lol. Yes I am a little nuts. The only reason I’m here is because I ain’t all there no the camera isn’t crooked it really is leaning over that far lol odd feeling I tell ya.

Dog bless you, Man! I am terrified of heights! Once in Las Vegas, I got free passes to go up the tower at the Stratosphere Hotel. They have this epic elevator with 2 attendants inside. As soon as the elevator doors opened at the top and the wind rushed in, I instantly hit the deck. No thought to it, just instant terror and my body just responded. Here I was sitting on the floor of the elevator shouting “Shut the door!!!”. I have never been more embarrassed in my entire life. The attendants told me in all sincerity not to be and said that it happened at least 3 times a day, every day. I will never forget that as long as I live.

If it makes it any better I don’t like heights either lol. The only reason I go up then dammed things is $$$$$$$ depending on height and the area it pays between $42 &$100a day to $100hr & 250 a day. If something goes wrong and it comes to the dirt I’ll never know lol I just tell myself I’ll break my fall with my wallet lol

I’m a superintendent for a large multi state outfit. I field manage new construction of multi million dollar projects… mainly multi story projects… tallest was 22 story in Tampa FL… square footage was a massive medical facility in Florida took 2 years. Currently doing a 3 story school in rural new England… averages 140 guys a day over several contractors. It’s stressful but knowing I’m a huge part of something that will be here for years and people will enjoy has its benefits. I will find some pics

I love those heights. I’m an Ironworker, spend a good deal of time putting those up, jumping them and breaking them down. Occasionally get to build a building or bridge with them too. Nothing like a good operator on a job, makes my job so much easier. I’ve watched them sway way to much to make me ever want to sit in one for 10 hrs a day though.
