    Hi all
    I seem to be so under qualified. I'm very cluey at a lot of things but ATM
    I'm in the concrete paver field, was a brick paver for 4 yrs now I'm a forklift driver for BORAL clay and concrete pavers.
    So I went from laying bricks to stacking bricks how ironic.

    At boral coming up 10yrs and paved for 4 so same s*(at)t different brick

    Good to see a diverse bunch around on this forum

    I'm Chief Engineer for Hewlett-Packard. Don't ask me any computer related questions, I hate them. The good thing about working for a computer manufacturer is if they don't work, I hit them. If they still don't work, I get a new one. ;D
