I am a Natural Gas Regulator Technician for the City of Hamilton Gas Department. I maintain about 70 regulators that control the gas pressure in the mains (ranging from 11" H20 - 600+ psig!!! :eek:) throughout the city. I love it!

I started in new construction. Did framing, siding and interior trim for 10 years. Got bored with that. I was always good at fixing things, so I tried apartment maintenance. Been at DT Properties for almost 18 years now. I can fix about anything relating to buildings, cars and computers. Do a lot of remodels and rehabs. Working on auto's, wheeling, and computers are my hobbies. I would rather learn how to do something than pay someone else to do it.

Sorry for the closing of the Cinci Dekuyper plant, but that is the reason I landed my job.

My dad worked at the Cinci plant and got transferred to Frankfort when it closed. He was a chemist in the Dekuyper division, and was head of quality control. He retired from Beam about ten years ago. He started at National Distillers in Frankfort, got transferred to Cinci in 1977, then got transferred back to Frankfort in the 90's when the Cinci plant closed. That's crazy...
