saw this concept of a thread on another forum, made for an interesting thread.
so what do you do for work?
im currently a confined space contractor for sydney water.
its definetly one of the more labour intense jobs i have had, basically involves spending long periods of time in a pipe that runs from blacktown and down to st lenoards and beyond, re surfacing the inside while it has live flow.
cheers
