Re: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
well we are still on our first gate now started feb. 5th. so far there has been 2 wells drilled 5 tank faclity expanded to a 10 tank faclity. a pipe line crew running 4 miles of pipe to another rig across hwy 97 and the pad construction crews. this has been a very busy gate . but now its dead waiting for the frac crew to come they said maybe in 3-4 more days. seeing all the gate guards along 97 and 469 when i go to town they have it good not near the dust we have out in the boonies ( hahah) and a main road for all the gravel trucks. they run 24 -7 it seems. the gate that got my attention is a tiny air stream with a tent and what looks like a deer stand with the legs cut off. thats wild way to small for me and how do you keep the tent up with all the high winds? dang the snakes are out bad around here. oh and how do you deal with these litle black nats. off don't seem to work much they get in your hair down your shirt and bite the hell out of you can't sit out out side much they will be all over you in a couple min.356Views0likes0CommentsRe: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
thanks don/sharon. i found out yesterday we can have things shipped to the ace hardware in cotulla so thats what we will do from now on. as for the water no we don't wash the toad or the coach just have to see why we seem to be using so much we evn turn the shower on and off when we shower. starting to think we use alot just doing dishes have to find a better way of rinsing and what not. oh well somthing to work on thanks again john and carol one ugly lab357Views0likes0CommentsRe: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
well i hope everyone made it though the wind yesterday. that was bad. I did want to ask somthing we work for timekeepers we get 250 gal. of water a week. that just barely enough it seems. is this the norm? we have a washer and dryer but can't use it just not enough water for it. also the monitor panel went out last week so i orderd a new one payed extra to have it shipped 2nd day air to the office in bourne. told them about it and milton our supervisor. it should have got there last thurs. but no one has brought it out to us. with out it i cant's see how much propane we have or check the tanks batteries or the water pump on the coach and the gas side of the water heater. they told us they would bring what we orderd out to us but that don't seen to be true. does other companys ignor you like this? thanks john and carol and one ugly lab356Views0likes0CommentsRe: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
we did it now working a gate started tue afternoon. just in time for our first thunderstorm. what fun hahaha. then the water tank hose came off and pumped it dry. didn't know it till the next day because of all the mud from the storm. should have more water today. we had some in the fresh water tank but thats gone now too. we filled up 13 pages in thr first 24 hours. seems they have a new rig just setting up and a pipe line crew and a facilities crew here adding more tanks and pipe line.544Views0likes0CommentsRe: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
this part bothers me. does any one have more input on this? as far as i'm concerned the coach is our home. so does this happen very offten if so it does not seem legal. if we didn't sleep and live there only worked our shift it would be differnt. if they want to search us they can search the car and the basement of the coach but i won't let them go though my wife and my persenol belongings we would just have to find another job. i'm not the type of guy that will let someone go though the wifes underware drawers just cause they say they want to and they can.413Views0likes0CommentsRe: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
