My FIRST Montana welding job!

As a lot of you know I’m making the move from Florida to Montana. So before the winter hit we decided to head out to my new location and make sure the market was viable for a mobile welder. Well as it turns out there are no welders in the area. So I put a few ads out and went meet some of the people in town to get there opinion on a welding service. I got 3 jobs in a matter of 2 weeks! So I’d say the market it healthy! Here is my first Montana welding job, where I made contact with Bob from Southmont Concrete (which works well, because I needed a concrete contractor!) They where nice enough to let me use there shop and even some of there equipment. I’m excited to see what my future holds here in my favorite place. Wish me luck!

We call it a HIAB crane, HIAB is the company that build these Truck cranes. It's very usual here in Austria. Hope you and your wife getting better soon, but you will deal more often with kind of colds in Montana I guess. The country I came from (Austria) the winter here is pretty similar. We have a lot of mountains (the Alps) and snow. But with all my implanted iron in my body (knee, wrist, spine) I can't stand the cold any more and would love to move to Florida, that's the reason I'm being there during the coldest period of our winter. Kind of snowbird. Wish you best of luck anyway and I like the new Truck. Stay safe and hopefully you guys feel better soon. Tom

Love the view of the mountains there. Hope it works out well for you there. Dress in layers, and never leave home without a jacket. Welding those racks looks good. Fabbing the first is always the slowest. Stay warm. Fell better, you and your wife, and no motorcycle on snow covered roads…😵

I’m a high school student and where I live my town can enroll you into college trade class as electives for free which means I’ll be able to get my welders certificate right out of high school as long as I complete the program. It’s nice to see what some different kinds of welders do because it helps me find what I want to do in the future.
