Well here's what i just started about 3 weeks ago. I'm a laborer for a company called Mactec. I was hired on to help lay concrete culvert pipes ranging from 18" to 82". We're almost finished with this but they have so much do still yet i'll be workin for a little while i hope.

Hoping to start running equipment soon since i have alittle experience and my pay will increase another $10/hr puttin me at around $40/hr

More than i'll ever make around here

Well here's a little of what happened about 10 minutes from my house leading to why i'm working today. It's really kinda scary and cool at the same time. It's drew in such a different crowd from all over the United states. I've met alot of people and have only met half

That is the more cool than scary approach I was warning about.

Well all the work we just did puttin the culverts in is now getting taken back out. Apparently DNR (dept. of Natural resources) said the dranage ditches under the walkin trails are not "approved" so we're diggin em back up.

It's a hell of alot faster gettin em back up though hahaha

I just said "Job security". If it gets approved tomorrow they'll all be put back. Heres goes to another month of pipe laying
