I work at a lumber treatment plant in a town that you have visited for a prior dirty job, Tyler, TX. I actually drive by that billboard 4 days a week on my way to work. Anyway about the job, Its not an incredibly dificult job, until something breaks down, but it can get very dirty. The job consists of two main tasks, the first is to load and unload the tram with lumber, the second is removing the wood from the pad. While that doesn't sound that bad you get quite a bit of a chemical known as CCA on your clothing throught the day (or night in my case). Right now i have two pairs of coveralls for a four day week and they are a disgusting mix of brown and green in color, they started out blue and grey. Insects are also somewhat of a problem namely mosquitos and spiders in 10 minutes 5 or 6 spiders will spin webs on the forklift, and i will get bitten approximately 20-25 times by mosquitos in one night. Anyway i think this would be a great location for a shoot i would love to hear from you and we would love to have you back in Tyler.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
