Here's some stuff for ya to comb over

Outside the HWY 19 barricade going to Aiken you have....

Food:
HWY 19 New Ellenton barricade
Joe's Grill- Its a small bar with pretty good food. And you can see it from the gate
Carolina BBQ: Awesome barbecue... its about 3-4 miles outside the gate just as reach New Ellenton.
Dukes BBQ: My personal favorite.. awesome but its a little farther down 19 on the other side of New Ellenton

HWY 125/Jackson barricade
Pizza Stop: Pizza buffet... be careful you may need a nap after going to this place
Subway: nuff said
China One: its o.k.

I'll have to get back with ya on the lodging.

The rumors I'm hearing where I'm at, is that D&D is dissolved until the FLUOR takes over. The liquid waste and M&O contract has been split as most already know. In M&O none of our contract Hp's have been let go... that I know of, and I think the same is true in Liquid waste. Most house techs are worried abour benefits and that stuff. Personally, I don't care just give me overtime.

If you have a chance to come to the site...
I would tell you to go to the liquid waste side. Great place to work and lots of o.t.

If ya have any questions i'll do my best to answer.

You left out the best non-bar-b-que joint near the plant if it's still there, but I can't remember the name. You called 'em up and they would tell ya what's on the menu that day, and you would pick from that. Didn't like it, tough, call back tomorrow. It was on the right side of the road heading out of the plant on 125 just o/s the gate. Looked like a hole in the wall from the outside and once you were inside... it was a hole in the wall. But the food was awesome... enough to make a hound dog break his chain!

We left there almost 10 years ago and I still miss some of that cooking from that area. Don't miss too much other than that.

There is a trailer park across from Hardees in New Ellington, close to the plant. The owner likes to rent to Rad Con techs.

A question for those of you in the know:

Is it cheaper to live in the Augusta area or the Aiken area? I grew up in Aiken as a kid and my Dad worked at SRS, so I kind of assumed that I would live in Aiken if I end up down there. However, my Dad tells me that Augusta may actually be a bit cheaper in terms of cost of living. I'd be starting out in an apartment so obviously this won't have a huge financial effect until later on, but even so at this point in my career I'm all for saving as much as possible for future plans. I know that both areas are nice so I'm very much open to either one. Just curious if anyone has any insight to provide on this subject. Thanks in advance.

-Tim

Camella Black · « **Reply #13 on:** Apr 22, 2009, 01:37 »

Tim, from what I know it is usually cheaper to live in Augusta, it just depends upon the area you are looking at. I do know waiting lists can be long in the Aiken area due to USC Aiken. I don't know how far you want to drive, but there is a listing on the Vogtle thread for 2 bedrooms (it is actually a 2 bedroom trailer) that is 18 miles the other side of Augusta.

Also if you want to leave the bright lights and big city behind, I might know someone who has a 1 bedroom cabin for rent in the Barnwell area.

I will be starting at SRS on Monday, May 4. I am looking for a 1 bedroom efficiency as close to the Site as possible. I don't need anything fancy just clean and in a safe area. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

Have you called the Villa Motor Inn in Williston. It is just a couple minutes from the baracade on hwy 278. They have a 2 bedroom apt, furnished for 500.00 per month. Call 803-266-7002.

There are 4 rent signs all over the area. Unemployment is double digit. The paper is full of places. I would also try Craig's List. Not hard to find a place.

Camella Black · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2009, 12:04 »

I know of several houses in the Barnwell, SC area that are for rent. Anyone needing a place just pm me and I'd be glad to help you out.

I have looked at the apartments in New Ellenton. I am leaning more towards one of the apartments in Aiken, off of Whiskey Rd. They don't have any 1-BR available. I only need a place for Sunday through Wednesday nights as I will leave after work on Thursday to go back home for the weekends (live in Chapin on Lake Murray). I was hoping that someone had a mother-in-law type apartment or cottage on their property that they would like to rent out. It's amazing how quickly everything is filling up. Right now, I am staying at a motel on Whiskey. So sure would appreciate anyone's assistance. Really wasn't interested in a mobile home because my wife thinks they are tornado magnets. Thanks. Dick

If you take a ride down 278 toward Beech Island you can see what the latest F3 did to that road. It looks like all homes were hit, no trailers.
