* I started grinding T-tops which comes in two part the top and the bottom id make sure when I grinded them that the top part fit perfectly into the bottom and then id take them back apart and install the lights the wires the speakers on the bottom part once that was completed id squeeze an adhesive mix around the bottom part on the inside placing the top part on top of the bottom where id then put pieces of wood around the outside holding it in place and close together so the adhesive would bond the two together.

* I work on the assembly line putting the front deck and back deck on. Then put the doors to the front and back decks id help put the rub rail on once the rub rail was on there would be a long piece of rubber we'd put inside the rub rail I did that for a couple months before I moved to the back where we layed the electrical lines and hydraulic lines and hoses that ran to the front of the boat the middle of the boat where the console sets to the back i also put the brass pieces into the bottom screw holes and the plastic screw holes once those were in id put the different pumps in connect the hoses as well as the rope cleats on the topside of the boats the lights on the sides.

*On the dry side I pulled boards from different lengths and width onto a rack. Once the rack was full it would be taken to the other side of the building where a guy would put bands on it once that was done, it would then be taken to get weighed at another building on the yard. Once it was weighed it would be taken and set underneath another building until a truck driver came to pick it up.

* on the wet side, I placed sticks on top of boards as they were coming down the line. Depending on what length and width and size the boards were told me how many sticks to put on top of the boards once the pack was complete it was sent out onto the line where it would get a number the number on the pack corresponded with the number on the paper we got. Id put a sticker with that number on the pack write the number on the pack what type of wood it was the date and how many layers tall it was so for example it would look like this ( 201123 WO 4/17/23 15 layers ) once the pack got written on it would go to the kiln to be dryed other types of wood be taken to a building to be air dried.

* I pulled boards from different lengths to widths putting them in packs then banded them together getting them ready for shipping.

* I worked putting sawdust into the boiler maintaining a constant heat and pressure so that the lumber could be dried in the kiln.
