'66 & Bill
I guess it does sound like a challenge. I don't think I could afford to take pictures of all that I see. I absolutely have to get a digital camera.
Just so folks don't get a totally skewed idea about coal mine electricians. I wouldn't want their job. When they work underground, they are usually in total compliance with all state & federal mine electrical laws. It's just that they are weak on the NEC when they work aboveground.
By a strange quirk in the mining laws, I hold licenses good for all voltages, all locations. You won't catch me doing underground electrical work. My work would probably be as/more dangerous than what the coal miners do aboveground.
