    Gautier water towers get facelift By SHANE SCARA, GulfLive
    'You should have seen it before we tracked through it,' said David Herb, a sandblaster and painter with Dixie Sandblasting. 'It looked all white like a nuclear bomb went off.'

    The crew is almost done with the blasting. So far they have gone through 80 tons of sand.

    Crew member Jerry Husted said the height doesn't bother him, but admitted their work is hazardous.

    'You've gotta enjoy and pay attention to what you're doing,' Husted said. 'You don't get a second chance up there. You must put safety first.'
