    The house across the street from my house has had 3 owners since I've lived in my neighborhood. The new guy that bought the house is a young 20something Mexican kid who knows construction. This kid has made many improvements to his home in just a year and his house is the best on the block. Proud of my hard working people.

    I was a project manager/estimator for a small business precast concrete company. I was the one guy in the office that understood my career wouldn't exist without the guys outside doing the hard work. Concrete is no joke, and you can tell how hard and physically demanding a job is by the ratio of Mexican to other workers. I had like 90% of the guys I hired were Mexican guys. I made it a point to spend time getting dirty in the pit with them because for one, they were the absolute experts in the industry, and it made me a better estimator and project manager because I got to learn from them how shit was done and I got to see first hand why things were done a certain way and I was constantly improving how I scheduled and estimated projects because I didnt just know a product and how much it cost, I also knew how it was produced and how long it took and why it took that long etc. It was a symbiotic relationship that kept food on the table for everyone and I also earned the respect as the project manager that kept my guys busy but didnt set unrealistic timelines because I was taught the process and knew there was more to creating a product than just a simple pour and cure calculation.
    I never felt so accepted as a coworker and as a person like I was there. I cant tell you how awesome it feels to get invited every weekend to a family party bbq, a few quinceañeras, having the wives/gf of those guys trying to get me to go to all the mexican weddings with the ugly friend,etc... all while being referred to as "pinche guero".

For mixing and pouring, I’ve always made a short round point shovel with welded sides.

      I used to do some light property lawn care (and winter prep) for 8 buildings. Owner had a roofing crew out, didn't speak any English. They had all 8 buildings done by the end of the day. A fresh roof and the ground was all clean as if they were never there. In and out with no bullshit.
      To this day, I see this same pattern. It took me several weeks to put a roof on by myself, tear out the old and install the new. It's rough.

    Our roof was done by natives from Mexico and they worked their butts off all day long. They took maybe a 15 minute break for lunch, but they were at it from 6AM to 6PM. They did a phenomenal job too. An Ameren worker who was doing our energy efficiency conversion said he used to be a roofer and that our roof was done right.

This allows me to get in and out left and right and height in one shot. The mark on the post goes level to the string. And the mark on the string goes to the edge of the post. Marks on string are I panel plus a post so a 70" section and a 5" post would be 75" to center or edge rather for better accuracy. Just my way if it helps anyone out.

They were the best bunch of guys you could imagine, their work ethic was something to admire. We had fun, but the work got done and done correctly. My policy was do it right the first time, don't cut corners and you won't have a call back from the customer to redo something.
