Stop in for a cup of coffee
I worked a flood control job 300 yds from the border at Tijuana/San Ysidro. What a hoot that was. The kids would sneak through the fence every night and steal all of our grade stakes. The important ones we had to bury a foot deep so they could be found by us the next day. :lol: One of the neighboring farmers came to my concrete plant looking for one of his tractors one morning. Not here we said. He looked further and found tire tracks that lead right through the border fence into Mexico :lol:. We thought we were high tech in concrete paving with a mechanized finishing machine made for flat work modified for slopes. The Mexican contractor on the other side of the border doing the same job had a track mounted paving machine
Like this set up to do slopes. They were doing three times the concrete we were per day and in less time :lol:
