re: Today I have watched four Mexicans form, pour and finish my new patio.

Best concrete crews I ever dealt with were with Brasfield & Gorrie in Atlanta. They self performed and had around 40 full time Hispanics working on two crews day and night. Pour 250 on the 10 th floor of some high rise starting at midnight and be pouring another 250+ slab at 3pm the next day on another site. Guys were machines. The Cortez brothers from Guatamala ran their crews. Jack, Mario and Jorge. Even though I was the sales rep, I spent countless nights climbing ladders and shining flashlights in the drums to check slumps. And just being there to sell the next job with my show of support. Those guys insisted I get every job that B&G did in Atlanta. Only time I didn't was so they could give the impression of fairness in the bid process to my competitors. But I got 90%. Those guys were the hardest workers I have ever seen.
