Maintenance

Levi's work has been picking up. They just opened up the new plant out his work. The guys got a chance to bid on a different job. Levi had bid on maintenance and has decided to take it. He used to work maintenance until almost 3 years ago. He had switched to operating a loader so that he could get on first shift. So now he is back in maintenance and still on 1st shift. Beside it being hard physical labor, I think Levi likes being back in maintenance. For those of you who know Levi, he doesn't like to sit around, he likes to be constantly doing things. Running loader was a very monotonous job, not the kind of job Levi really wanted to do. And what better way for Levi to do one his favorite things, he gets to tinker with things and fix them! It's been busy out there. Levi has been on 12 hour shifts and it sounds like that could last awhile yet. For those of you who don't know how Unimin works, the guys work 19 days on and have 2 days off. So if you do the math with the 12 hour shifts, that's a lot of hours! His work is also hiring about 25 guys, that's like doubling the amount of workers out there. So for now, we don't get to see Levi much.
