    I have been away from this project for some time, but got a call today asking me to return. The only thing left is the boiler tubes and this was subcontracted out. The sub contractor was struggling with the removal and my name was recommended as a resource. We worked out a deal for me to consult this challenge. I was asked to run the crew for three weeks, but after cancer surgery I am not sure my endurance is up to the challenge.

    The challenge is boiler tube 2 inches in diameter 14 'from solid structure. The exposure is 10 stories high, roughly 150 ft. Before I left this project I purchased a 16 ft. torch to tackle this challenge. Lesson, provide a strategy without giving away the insight to succeed.

    Bottom line: I am returning to Omaha to finish what I started. My longevity will be based on my value to the project. Country boy in the big city will be the real challenge.
