But this, this is a whole new level of labor. I have a lot of respect for those that do this job. Keep on keeping and build america.
    thanks 416 for the great opportunity. I wish I could do this but it's not for me, I'll step out of the way and let someone that CAN do it take my place.

    I worked on two nuclear power plants busting rods. Until you put a 60 ft # 18 rod on your legs, along with the rest of the crew and climb that wall 50 feet and tie off. You have not experienced how hard this job can be. I was about 28 years old at the time and strong as an ox. I loved tieing steel and damn good at it. I could do about 30 snap ties in under a minute on a good day. Very rewarding job and usually working with a great crew. If you did not pull your weight on the crew, you did not stay on that crew. One more thing. If you did not pack a good lunch, you could not make it to the end of the day.

First thing you learn to do is heat up the pliers and bend the bottom handle to pulling grip. Learn to tie #9 wire will also wear your hands out. Still a great job and I loved it.

Cause i just can't see being up 100 stories and have to climb all the way down and climb all the way back up for a dropped wrench.

    If you like working rebar for companies like Gerdau that don’t even give breaks, you need to see a mental health specialist.
    That’s why so many Ironworkers are alcoholic’s.
    Glad I’m almost retired and work in a refinery during rebar, structural and welding.
    There’s no tonage report.And we work 60+ hours a week, double time on Saturday and Sunday doing absolutely nothing.lol
    I’d rather pick up cans and plastic bottles,living under a bridge than work for a ratty company like Gerdau.
