Greetings,

I am writing from home in Colorado, at 9.2k ASL. I will be going to the Southern Ice for the first time this year. I have been to the far North, and have lived and worked in some places that others think extreme. From REALLY cold to down right Dank. I just call it work. I am looking forward to the experience. I hope that my work schedule will allow me some time to do a little bit of exploration.

Hi Dave and welcome.

There are people around here with lots of experience, so please ask away of anything you need to know. How long will you down for? Are you building anything in particular or is it ongoing?

Hello,

The main project that I am to be working is a new thaw box for the foodies. Also several demo and asbestos abatement projects. The old com building is coming down that may be the main site that you will recognize. Then a lot of on going stuff. Time/budget/schedule depending.

I appreciate the background I am getting from the forum already. I will likely be after more when I have the time.

Ah. I've seen something about a thaw box, and we certainly have enough asbestos around here. But the Com building? Do you mean the old transmitter building at T-site? I don't think that is being used any more, but Comms/Weather/Mac Ops - despite numerous problems - is still operating and still being upgraded.

BTW, are you a Carp? (Commonwealth: Chippy)
