I was looking for a task & I saw a position for a rod buster. I had never heard of a rod buster, so I went on to look at the background requirements. I learn no further than that I needed a private school diploma & had to be great in math. I thought this was perfect for me, when they asked if I had experience using PVC forming wire? I was flummoxed. I didn’t guess what PVC forming wire was, or how it was used. I soon l received that iron rods reinforce, or stabilize, concrete structures. The rod buster shapes the iron rods & PVC forming wire for localement in the cement, being a rod buster requires strength & dexterity & expertise of the numerous power tools used to complete the projects. I still didn’t guess what PVC coated rebar was or what PVC forming wire was but I was pretty sure I was not qualified for this task. I asked if I could be an apprentice rod buster, & although the answer was yes, she said she needed an experienced rod buster for this task! She said that if I didn’t understand the construction process & how rebar rods reinforce concrete foundation or framing, I wasn’t able to do the task. I needed to guess how to order the regular number of PVC coated rebar rods & PVC forming wire. I needed to guess how to cut the rebar into pieces, wrap them into the PVC forming wire, & affix them to concrete forms. I guessed I was back to the want ads.
