Hailing from Gulfport, Mississippi

[southern boy]

Just run across this forum while looking for a new machine. I have been welding for 18 years on everything from Ohio river cells for powerplants, to navy ships (with a lot of "filler" in between). Yes, I am certified, OSHA 500, and a bunch of other crap no one wants to hear about!

A fellow Mississippian! What are the chances of that?

[southern boy]

Thanks guys, I'm glad to be here. As for my work, well, there aren't too many photos of it, since a lot of it was government work and there were no cameras allowed. But I will be doing wrought iron fences/gates, and custom truck parts here soon. Those I will definitely post photos of!

I'm from the Hattiesburg area... Petal/Richton to be more precise.

Yeah, your just up the road. How did you fare through the snow?

[Bluesman]

Snow didn't bother me much. I still had to take care of the chicken houses. I did call the ins. agent though to make sure that if the roof caved in on em that they would pay. They said they would. Unfortunately the roof didn't cave in so I'm still a chicken farmer. I'm just carrying on about the chicken farming, it really isn't that bad, it's just the companies you have to work with sometimes put pricks in charge of stuff they shouldn't be.
