RHODE ISLAND Please include job title, company/organization, city, etc. Must be a specific job, and not theoretical ("plumber" vs. "pipe fitter, Pipe City Plumbers, Silver Spring, RI"). Rhode Island ideas only.
The Tiverton,RI Lions Club has pancake breakfasts as fund raisers. Come and mix the pan cake batter, grill the bacon and sausage, but especially clean up after breakfast. Have a few laughs, and help us raise money for Cancer and children, our sight foundation, and other community charities. All you have to do is contact me and I'll take it from there. PS- It sounds like good PR to me. How about you?

I live in Newport, RI which is a small city by the sea. There are many dirty jobs here, mostly fishing or clean water filtration related. In any case, if your team comes here, we're offering our professional massage therapy service to your crew. You sure need it!!!
There is a place called Liberty Farm down the street from where I work. They raise trees and bushes I believe. It's gotta be dirty! It's also on the edge of a swamp, which makes it even better, I think.
It's in West Kingstown RI. I think the full name is Liberty Lane Trees and Shrubs, but I'm not sure. I'll check on Monday when I drive by
Hello! I am the President of the Student Alumni Association at the University of Rhode Island. Every year our organization plans Oozeball, which is a volleyball tournament in the mud. We get over 1,000 student participants. It is day long event that is dirty from start to finish! Our group has already been planning the event for a few weeks now and this year is the 18th annual tournament on Saturday April 26th. We begin set up the day before which includes digging holes for the net poles. Prior to that, the field is plowed to create the court area. At 7am the day of the event, 65 SAA members meet at the on-campus event location in Kingston, Rhode Island to set up the nets. The fun doesn't really begin until the town fire trucks arrive to soak the field with thousands of gallons of water. Now that the muddy mess is ready, students come down to compete in the mud. No one leaves clean and the trail of mud up to the dorms is the true sign that Oozeball was a success. Sunshine, wind, or rain - Oozeball must go on! Join us this April for our annual Oozeball competition and Mike can take his chance at being this year's "Biggest Oozer!"
thecrawlspaceguy Junior Member Posted 02-13-08 07:13 PM Hide Post Rhode Island I am Tom, The Crawlspace Guy. The company I work for cleans up and seals up dirt crawlspaces under homes, schools, churches etc. It can be incredibly dirty. (I've had to crawl through animal carcasses and other disgusting things). I would like to have you join us, (Neutocrete Systems Inc.), at a crawlspace job in Rhode Island.

Hi There! Mikes gonna love this job. you haven't lived till you have strung skate bait for lobster traps on a hot summer day in point judith. The bait is in various states of decay and smells to high heaven. You have to string 4 or 5 rotting skates together and then they can be salted to preserve that stench to attract the lobster to the traps. Projectile vomiting is not uncommon to newbees doing this job, and you won't want to go home till you take 5 or6 showers.
You want to get dirty? Allow me to set up a job with Mike next time we clean out a #6 oil tank. I promise he will not have a clean spot on him. He may be afraid to get into the tank with the men. He will need to be 40 hour OSHA trained and have confined space entry training before he can get dirty. When we clean these tanks out in the summer months the men decontaminate themselfs and when they take off their boots a quart of sweat pours out. It is very nasty. He will be hot, dirty, tired and if we are lucky he will not pass out. If Mike thinks that he is tough a guy give us a call. www.marshallenv.com
P.S. I truly enjoy all of the shows but some of them make Mike look like a sissy. This is his chance to show everyone that we is a real man. I promise NOT to go easy on him. I promise to keep him safe at all times.
When people ask me where I work…I tell them the Newport Tent Company. "What, like camping tents?" they say, "You set up peoples tents?" "no" I say, "we erect massive tents!" 120X 340's, 130 X 300's and all the way down to 9 X 10’s. We put up tents for college and university graduations (don’t forget the potential 6000 + chairs that need setting up)….We have set up tents for everyone from the His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama to Former President Bill Clinton to the mega rich on Newport, Rhode Island's famed Bellevue Avenue and the Ocean drive.(usually they want the custom ballroom dance floors installed...say, 750 pieces at 200 lbs per section…good times….)We work seven days a week and clock in roughly 70 to 80 hours a week...and we do it all with a smile! (not so much) Maybe you could come and hang out with us this summer (or spring) when we erect big tents...because it is sometimes wet, usually hot and always dirty. It will be wicked fun.
I have two ideas: Company Prototype Design, 272 Kettle Pond Drive, South Kingstown, RI 02789. Inc. I compound water rinse able metal polishing. Our polish is highly effective at restoring gasoline tankers and fuel oil delivery trucks, dull and some times pitted surfaces. The process starts with hand buffing the surfaces with 3M abrasive or scotch brite pads. It gets really interesting when the buffing with the polish takes place. The sheepskin buffing pads do a great job removing the oxide surface, when your done the truck looks bright and shinny and the polisher is wearing black aluminum oxide every where. It tints your hair jet black and will soak all the way through to your underwear.
The second idea might not pass the theoretical test. Pipe fitters re-tubing fossil fuel boilers at electrical generator stations. Again one wears the soot it’s in the air and later during the process in your lungs and everywhere else.
My husband works for Anchor Insullation. He works in CT but the company is based in Rhode Island, I bet they would let you follow one of their guys for the day. They get DIRTY. Anchor does many things, but Industrial Insullation is what my husband does and he does not have one uniform that is not stained or covered in some kind of uncleanable grime. Ofen he come home black and can not touch the kids until he showers ( I am thinking of installing one int he back yard). They have a website it is: http://www.anchorinsulation.com/ . They are a family owned business and have done a great job of making themselves big. I am sure he would not be able to go on some of the sensitive jobs inside power plants, but I know my husband just worked at a trash insinerator and WOW was that dirty and smelly.
Mike can come to Electric Boat Quonset Point in North Kingston RI. There are a lot of dirty jobs. Specifically my job is a Magnetic Particle Test Inspector. It's referred to as "throwing dirt" for a reason. You use a lot of red powder and a little electromagnet to test the quality of welding. And submarine welding has higher standards than most anything else. At QP, we make the hull segments out of raw steel before sending the pieces to Electric Boat's other facility in Groton CT or to Newport News in Virginia.
There are a lot of other dirty jobs in the shipyard as well like painting, welding and shipfitting. A lot of small confined areas to crawl around in. Permission would have to be gotten from the Navy most likely in addition to the EB HR guys.
Dear Mike, I am a 25 year old commercial fisherman from Litle Compton, RI. Most of the year I target dog fish, a small species of sharks that urinate through their skin.I think it would be a great dirty job for your show to come out on my 38 ft. fishing vessel for the day and help us catch the fish and clean up afterwords. Come try it out! -Ian, president Grey Dog Fisheries Inc.
mechanicstud Junior Member Posted 02-19-08 09:28 PM My name is Aaron and i have a dirty, greasy, oily, smelly job as a Diesel Technician. I work for New England Detroit-Diesel Allison out of Cranston, RI. I diagnose and repair heavy duty diesel engines in trucks, coaches, whatever comes in. Occasionally I R+R heavy duty transmissions. Like most people who work with their hands my clothes are all stained along with my skin. The jobs vary from trash trucks to semi's and motor coaches, so spend a day with me and my co-workers and prepare to get dirty! P.S. I'm known as the dirtiest guy in the shop, and my fiance hates me for it.
My name is Bill Fields. I am a licensed pyrotechnician and I shoot commercial fireworks shows in the state of Rhode Island. I work for Telstar Pyrotechnic Productions in Jaffrey NH. I think our job is filthy, smelly, hard work and it's right up your alley! And what a payoff at the end of the night! I would like to invite you to one of my shows on the week of July 4th. thanks; Bill
