This kind of work doesn't have a price.. One time, falling 20 feet and above . While you are falling the only thing it's going to go thrue your mind. It's not the money. it's your kids and wife and the regret of this kind of job. My brother in law 10 years of experience manford lost his life on July 14, 2023, in Texas. He fell 40 feet. He was going early in the morning on his shift like he always did walking in a safe place . While he was walking. There was a piece missing, and he fell inside. He left 2 like kids 1 with autism and her little prices 5 yearl old. That she still confused and had to grow up knowing that she's not going to see daddy anymore. She's still confused thinking daddy is still working or working with the Angels like he now tells her in her sweet dreams. She could now hug his daddy on his dreams and now loves night 🌙 times because she nows daddy comes and plays with her on her dreams.

That’s based off a 40hr work week with no per diem or other incentives. I’m sure you made most of your money off the other 44 hours of overtime and the non taxable per diem.
