    University Coal fired boiler

    I'm small time, just computers. But, here's a huge job for someone else. I don't know if removing this unit would be worth the scrap value... it's not as easy as just picking something up off the ground....

    Anyway. It's up in Minot ND.

    Minot's oil country. Oil boom going on means no housing or motel rooms anywhere. Also, they got a monstrous flood last summer. Something no one has ever seen. There are lots of displaced people taking anything they can live in. Many parts of the city were under water. This was probably under water and that's why it needs to be removed... but any person strong enough to do this kind of work that has somewhere to live will be working the oil rigs.

    Don't come to ND looking for work in the oil field unless you know where to live. Lots of workers migrating up here and finding nothing for them to live in. Walmart's parking lot became a camping ground in Williston, until they abused it and all the campers were kicked out. Now they move around the town ever day or 2 to avoid being towed and impounded. You will be lucky to get a small room in a man camp... but no room for your family. Just a little white box room with a bed. Oh, not to mention, it's -6 up here today. Not fun working outside.
