I am back home for the week, got ahead of the welders on the natural gas project I am working on. We were supposed to be running two weeks ago, but we keep finding mechanical issues that take a couple of days each to correct. A lot of the piping on this is cryogenic, so it takes certified welders and Xrays for it. I am scheduled to be in Oklahoma at another of their sites week after next, it will be close.

What factor do you deal with for the welders that allows you to get ahead? Jim
It is hard to predict, we are finding a lot of mechanical mistakes. Most construction schedules are based on everything being correct the first time and no issues. I do not think I have ever seen that in the 30 years I have been doing this. I was in the process equipment construction business for a couple of years, and almost went broke. This equipment was constructed by the OEM at their facility, shipped and expected to be correct. I am paid per day by the customer, so they request me to be there and I show up. I could stand around and get paid, or go home do everyone a favor and work on other projects.
