    :blink: My entire property is smaller than that. I can't imagine what you put in a house that size - does it have a ballroom?

    Only those in the mining industry will know what I do.... I am a "shaft ventilation engineer" and (because I am very close to retirement)..... I've been given this "soft" task of planning the environmental needs for the mine for the next 100 years..... (I am currently on year 90 out of 100 and have one month left before retirement)

    It basically entails measuring all aspects of occupational environmental health hazards (including noise, Illumination, water pollutants, air pollutants, ergonomics, supply of fresh air to all extremes of the underground section of a mine (47km of tunnels) and removing gasses, diesel and blasting fumes).... I measure the contents in the ambient air.... annalyse in a laboratory and make recommendations for improvements as applicable......

    I own a small recycling company. I purchase 99% of the stock/material from the local dump site. Been doing it little over a year and so far it's an absolute dream come true being my own boss. Looking into a few ideas for my next business, which I want to start next year. It will probably aquarium related.

    @len.weideman Gap...More like a crater... I first need to get my ducks in a row before I let the cat out the bag. In other words I need to get a whole lot of experience in as short an amount as possible. Hence why I spend half my day on this and other aquarium related sites.

    Lol that's funny! It's actually really interesting! @Henk Hugo what do you do with the effluent? (do you supply equipment or do you use the effluent?)

    @friedlandnam I believe HVAC and Fire Services are also really interesting, would you agree? Are there a lot of calculations involved?
