    Hey man thanks for the add yea i don't know about "big boys" we just have the luck i suppose you can say at the moment were strictly volly's no pay of any kind so its hard at times, and usually only have 10-15 guys per major call so were just blessed i should say, and to my knowledge have only lost about 2 complete structures out of about 40 this year and there were no saving them when we got there; but heck yea man if you ever make it this way we'll for sure hang out
