    Best to skip the radio and provide hearing protection only.

    The burner works with his back to the bush that surrounds us and the cranes wont go near him for fear of getting spatter on their windows. I told him to sit in the Uhaul when the crane is cleaning up since rebar is nasty stuff to get slapped with.So I am not too worried about the safety factor. I would rather see him with headphones than a bluetooth.
    Yes,we will see how long he can keep up the pace. He is thirty years my junior and drives a new car,so I figure he is motivated

    Its nice to hear about someone that actually wants to work. It is also great to hear about management/supervisor that notices it and appreciates it.

    I'm the OP and I approve this hijack lol
