The company is moving about two miles per day. This does not include welding the pipe at this time. Wages paid are from a low of $14.00 per hour to $35.00 per for labors and $100,00 for welders with their welding truck and generator. There is pipe as far as hwy 63 when this photo was taken. The story is that welding is giving them trouble. Talked to one young man who was watching me and said he was there to prevent any one tampering with the equipment. He had a bit of trouble deciding what I was up to when I backed up to this machine. He said he was making $14.00 and hour and putting in 13 hours a day. He spoke Spanish very well I think.. |
