They normally do small road work for the city of lake Charles and the plants company is owned by a guy named Darrell. He has a camp at devils elbow (good people)

A lot of those people standing around are probably city or state inspectors though

Yeah, you gotta understand how many people get paid to watch and make sure they don't screw anything up.

Yes and yes and maybe no. Was on a drill site today, 240' bore pulling I think 10" pipe,under a school. They were 3' under and 3'horiz from the lines that were "marked" for TV,Internet etc.. that were marked by the cable company.Boom at 1 o clock the cable people showed up, the Boardwalk,Bass Pro And Margaritaville casino and 2 schools including my wifes,was done.. when they were cutting back with the reamer,they were chewin up major fiber line, it was crazy,what I'm trying to say is it's not always what you see, job sites get shut down for major F@@k'ups. and sometimes simple crap, my customer was all good but everything was shut down the rest of the day. I'm not so good with words but sometimes when you you see guys standing around,they might be waiting on some city inspecter or some crap,or there's probably a guy with a pick shovel in the pit-that you cant see-that's changing drill heads,reamers,or digging around who knows what..just my 2 cents here...Another 2 Cents,these guys work their asses off, OK I'm done..
