good and no calls for work on them, there was other work usually being done on the systems as stated
above. It could installation or replacement of equipment, repair to piping, new piping being added,
rebuilding of pumps, changing filters. We had a large chip removal system that needed repairing all the

safety rules, using any tools at my disposal.
