re: Building permit expediters/consultants
Posted by Dicky on 2/26/26 at 6:53 am to Gee Grenouille
Dawg if you think going to the permit office is the worst part about the building process, you're in for a rude awakening :lol:
I'm building right now with a GC--just willingly handling all the easy things myself to stay involved, and permits is one of them.

re: Mini trencher
Posted by Dicky on 2/23/26 at 9:10 am to Beachtiger
I just rented and ran a 36" trencher yesterday to run a 650' water main. It handled just about everything I threw at it other than hitting concrete and pine stumps, which I had to go around.

a man I have inferred is MAGA based on his affinity for American flag apparel
I still to this day can't wrap my head around how the American flag and loving your country has become a symbol of hate to the left.
It is sad that you can tell someone's political stance by whether or not they're flying USA flags in the front yard. That alone speaks volumes.

Plant workers also get their feelings hurt that there are lots of people who don't work shift work or OT and make more money with the same or better benefits
Everyone that I personally know who makes more money than me works very hard for it. They earned it. They deserve it. But none of those cases involve 36-40 hours a week. None. Most of them actually include 8+ years of college, $200k+ debt, and thousands of hours worked beyond the 9-5 that aren’t even classified as overtime bc they are paid salary.
Unless your name is Elon Musk, there is someone out there making more money than you while working less. The same argument you have against plant workers, someone else could come in and have against you and whatever tf you do.
So the operator hate is about everyone thinking we are lying?
lol.

I don't know why you turned this into a dick measuring contest or something, but you are just flat out wrong in just about everything you say. That brings us to another quality of being a man that you lack--admitting when you are wrong.

Yes, we can tell.
This definitely happens but not as often as you think. I've heard the same story for years about a guy losing his mind like that out here in the 90s. The stories just get around like wildfire. I'm guessing the same thing often happens to a guy working a 9-5 in a cubicle all day as well.

An experienced engineer at Exxon is beating your best salary
An experienced engineer at Exxon is working for the largest o&g company in the world at 20-30 years of experience and a very high career ceiling within that company. You are pointing out a very small niche, I am comparing two jobs as an entirety.
The average operator along the Mississippi River makes more money than the average engineer in the same area. Yes, it's mostly overtime. But the engineer does not even have that opportunity even if he wanted to work more.

Strong men provide in abundance and raise their family--you can do both. If you choose to only work 36-40 hours a week then that's on you.
The guys working these crazy overtime hours aren't absent fathers. They are working a 12 hour night shift commuting an hour each way and then fully functioning on 2-3 hours sleep helping get kids ready for school, dropping off, picking up, extracurriculars--the whole thing. I work with about 50 of them. It isn't for everyone, definitely sounds like it isn't for you--and that's fine. Jesus still loves you even though you aren't a hard worker.
Look at every great man in American history--they all worked their asses off. It's really what separates America from every other country in the world. We work hard, and we are proud of it. Most of us at least. Trending the other direction these days sadly.

Congrats on your nearly 1000 hours of overtime
If you have a strong work ethic and want it, it is there for the taking. The job is meant for both mentally and physically strong men--I sense you have a problem with that by your sarcastic comment and I am sorry I offended you. My post was purely informative and gives a roundhouse estimate to OPs original question.

Maybe intro-pay
But LULZ after that
I make $54/hr as a CCR operator at a major company along the river. Just got my last check for the year and my annual gross was $190k. I have 11 years experience and am at top pay, which increases ~2% each year as an inflation adjustment. A very close relative is also an engineer here with many years of experience as well. I made about 50% more than him.
Now obviously if you take some senior engineer 30 years into his career (The field itself doesn't really have a ceiling in some cases), he could definitely be making more. But on average and overwhelmingly so, an operator is financially taking care of his family significantly more.
I can't say this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure most of our production crew made more than the actual plant manager, whom is also an engineer LSU grad himself.
Also, ask me anything :cheers:

The operator pay at just about every plant is significantly higher than the engineers.
They aren't sitting here with me in this control room at 9pm on Christmas eve either.

My kids love it--but they aren't too big on keeping stuff sealed :lol:
That said, I have managed to stash away one of every PC ETB of the S&V era through most recent set and also a few booster boxes here and there. Looking at historical trends, they should all be worth at least $1k each by the time my kids start college so that's cool. Hell a lot of them are in the $500 range right now.
