    Thanks everyone for your posts, and thanks Pris, alot of good info there.

    I should have tried to break into hauling logs for a living instead of this ####.

    Upside is I guess it's never too late!

    Is there anything else I might need to be aware of? I am supposed to start at Trimac soon. I know we go to Nipsco and being a energy plant I would guess it would be fly ash. I have never done this type of work before and everyone says it is easy. What are some of the positives and negatives that you could comment on for me.
    Your help is appreciated.

    Hi Toby. It is easy. It can get dusty. Wash your hands and arms when you get some of it on you and if you get the chance. Try not to breathe it. It has alot of a carcinogen arsenic, which is used in mining. Sometimes you will have no choice.
