Pipe fitting Air Products Chemical plant. About 450 miles of pipe on a 30 acre site. 60 or so welders from nearly every state, and about 70 pipefitters, 3 full time cranes, and 1 safety man and one clean up guy that basically just picked up empty whisky bottles and unplugged the Porta-johns that were constantly plugged up with hypo needles from all the heroin usures. A real eye-opening experience. That was pretty much the first sign that I wasn't cut out for commercial work.

We did a 20,000 sq ft colonial in Newton Mass in '99. A FULL strip. That was 9 years ago and I still have the taste of lead in my mouth.

We have done bigger, but that was by far the hardest work.
