Richie ZookGUEST
I was out pumping concrete, and then I would, I would try to get there as much as I could just to interact with the guys.
Richie ZookGUEST
As, as, you know, things changed, we grew, we moved to Ephrata, Pennsylvania, where our current shop is.
Richie ZookGUEST
We bought some land there and, and, uh, had, had put another shop on it.
Richie ZookGUEST
And, and once we got set up there, we had more office space.
Richie ZookGUEST
We don't have a set start time, 'cause I may have guys leaving at 1:00 in the morning, and I may have guys that don't have concrete till 11:00 in the morning.
Richie ZookGUEST
So it just, the schedules are so varied.
Richie ZookGUEST
And so even working on site in our office at Pennsylvania in Ephrata, I was not interacting a, a significant amount with the guys.
Richie ZookGUEST
If we did a bigger project, bigger concrete job, I would always try to go out, be on the job just so I'm, I'm getting to rub shoulders more with the guys.
