Dirty Job at GMcB


I really enjoy the TV show "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe. Its on Discovery Channel, and for those not familiar with the show, Mike travels the country looking for dirty jobs and we have a great time watching him getting dirty while doing those jobs.
Earlier in the season Mike took a shift at the Gladding McBean Terracotta Plant in Glendale. And got real dirty one would assume. Gladding_McBean is the company that used to make Franciscan Pottery and other wonderful lines of dinnerware, but anymore just makes architectural terracotta...stuff like roof tiles and floor tiles and sewer pipe.
I missed that episode and have waiting for it to come back around. Make a note that "Garbage Pit Technician" episode is scheduled for March 13th at 8pm et/pt, and again March 14th at 12am et/pt.

Hi,
Stopped by your site and read about the Gladding Mcbean company. Just a note, it resides in Lincoln, CA, not Glendale. I live about a mile from the place. Biggest pile of clay pipe I have ever seen there too.
