Ah...

Near Georgetown, then? Did a shutdown at Santee Cooper Wynyah station. Horrible job. Or farther from the coast?

I'll check the boards, and see if I can recommend something near you. Don't hold your breath, though... ;)

i wish you lots of luck in what ever welding field you're going into but 29-37 dollars an hour is not what i would call big bucks.
