Average day here at the quarry.

Starts out.

Load out around 7:00 in the morning.

The guys then jumping in company vehicles.

can see it's perfect for this job.

They head up to the mine.

It's about three miles.

Once they get up to the mine, they'll go to their equipment and they'll do any assortment of cuts or drill holes, wire saws, and they will cut those into the walls, and they'll tip those walls over go down, get down, get down down down dow down down down down down down.

where we'l bring in other equipment to trim those down to size, where the loader can handle them.

worked in the min for a little over ten years now, I've done pretty muc a little bit of everything here.

I'm Diane Baca, and I'm right here.

I'm checking the bits on the fantino to make sure that everything's good.

So when I go back in to cut that everything's good and ready to go.

And we stay pretty busy.

We must confront right here to see the the linked.

Watch.

121. they'll get graded, which is they'll be checked out for quality.

what they're looking for, to see if there's any kind of fractures or discolorations or, or soft material that maybe isn't as good.

Once it goes through that, we'll do a final trim on Once their final trim, they get approved and they get shipped to Delta where our factories The water we use a the mine is completely recycled.

we actually have an older quarry.

We call it the Washington Gallery gallery catches runoff water all spring long, which gives us access to a massive water supply.

we use it on our saws, we use it on our equipment, and it keeps the dust down So it's all constantly recycled.

it's outstanding whe you're moving and tipping walls that are 300,000 pounds and you're using equipment to move 80,000 pound blocks that's a pretty cool operation.

it's awesome to see what it goes from in the mountain to what it looks like as a finished product.
