    I spend most of my time in the office either designing or doing construction administration duties, (but I don't have pictures of that). What I enjoy is going to my sites checking on the projects under construction. Like a big boy in his sand box...

    haha oh if people only knew how many rays swim around them day to day at the beach... we've had multiple people get hit on out project. pretty much always puts them in the hospital with massive tissue damage/nerve damage. we have a tendency to pull them up in schools. it gets pretty hairy on the back deck. we have some spines on them that exceed 8". some have up to three of those bad boys swinging around.

    I do mostly roadways and stormwater design. I'm also the construction manager for the office, and that covers all the projects we do; roadways, utilities, subdivisions.
