Jackhammer.

[almost13ranch]

I have a project at my place and includes using a jackhammer. I thought it would be fun. Well, it was for about 3 minutes. The hammer weighs about half of what I do and after horsing it around for about 2 1/2 hours, I’m whipped.

When I was like 18-19 I worked as a jackkammer operator for a short while, they were about twice as heavy then.. Screw that

I knew a gentleman who lived to be 103. He worked on the construction of the Hoover Dam. He said jackhammer operators punched holes for dynamite on bluffs were suspended by ropes over the bluff. But that was back when men were men.

Should have shot me a Tweet there, Ted. I would have set my cruise @46, and headed over.

Didn’t they do that on Mt. Rushmore?

Probably so, at least in the early days.

I have always envied men who helped with great projects such as this or helped design/build bridges, roads or large buildings. They can see what they had a part in building usually for their entire lifetime Most large construction projects last many years once completed. Many of the trucks I worked on when I started in this business have already served their purpose they were designed for & been recycled. Most of the tractors in the fleet when I retired have been sold & replaced with newer units.
I do miss keeping up with changes in technology. Just about every new model had changes from the previous year model. I would probably be lost on the newer equipment. Old brains don't adapt to new technology easily.

Actually that project was done 3 weeks ago.

I really did run a gas line and replaced an electric water heater with a gas tankless one.

Unless I’m missing something…

Where is Tri to tell you to call a professional and go by codes?
And brush up on your trigonometry.

You could break your town in half with that thing.
I know I could.
