Origin
The annex kept the steel
In 2014 the surveyors left. The steel plate was cheaper to keep than to haul. Nestor started chalking bruises for people who were tired of buying bounce in Houston.
Beaumont is not a resort town pretending to be a lab. It is a river town with clay that remembers rain. The shop exists because catalog adjectives kept failing that clay.
We still get mail addressed to the old survey company. We forward none of it. The pit only answers questions about bottoms.
