To any newbies reading this topic, don't get scared...
There is other way to get promoted from a ramp rat to a flying seat.

Speaking of "Cesar's Palace" aka "the shit hole" that's where I learned that baby wipes are indeed quite a delicacy...especially when the tp runs out and you've been using coffee filters for a while.

Burt's gonna love this one! I forgot to add the plywood window! Also doubles as the A/C installation point in the summer months! Notice the white motion light strategically located near the front door...perfect for detecting unwanted swamp donkeys in the middle of the night! CLASSIC!

There is a drawer in the basement from a former roommate loaded with porn magazines, dvds, used condoms, and a vibrator.

Crew house #1. A squirrel came up out of the air vent, looked at me and ran down the hall to go back down the air vent in the bedroom. Was kinda funny till winter and the furnace kicks in and I discovered his bathroom was in the vents too.
Crew house #2. You knew the septic tank was full when the folks upstairs flushed and it gurgled up in my bathtub. Had to use a random toothbrush to clean that up. Sorry Sulako.....

Upon arrival usually requires two days of fixing broken plumbing, finding it difficult to find a place to solder between all the previous repairs and replacing the busted toilet complete with 2 or 3 old, disgusting coilers. Or worse, cleaning up honey bucket bags that are slowing melting from under the snow banks. Then hopefully only having to drain the water from the fuel tank to get the furnace running or cutting up hardwood pallettes for firewood. Replacing the cardboard and broken windows with screen. Heading to the dump with 20 bags of last seasons garbage. Going to the coop to get mouse traps. Sweeping, mopping, throwing down the woods 5 star and voila, good to go an entire season without another cleaning. Adjusting the clothes hangar on top the old 12" B&W with no success. Mosquito coils are the fragrance of the month... May, June, July & Aug. K-D, double cheese and weiners are gourmet dinning... beer never makes it to the fridge until Sept. when you put it there to keep from freezing... no ice cubes for your rye & coke... nightly entertainment is sitting around the spilsbury to see what's going on... until the morning you wake up to the owner bangin' on your door shoutin' we're done, let's go, walk past the kitchen table piled with empties, wade through 3' of garbage, throw your stuff in the back of the pick-up and be feeling empty on having to be leaving home so soon. Reminds me, I better throw in some mosquito coils as I leaving next Thurs. I suppose there are many already been through this already this spring. Good luck to all and don't let the little stuff bug you.

When you start out as a new hire sleeping on the floor of the living room, and someone finally moves out so you can have the flooded basement all to yourself!
