V. K. Stones

We are set up over in the Riico Industrial Area. It’s a place where everyone is working and there’s always noise from the machines nearby. V. K. Stones has been here for a good bit now. We mostly deal with the basics of stone supply. It’s a lot of loading and unloading, day in and day out. The trucks back in and we have to get things moving so the next one can get through the gate. It gets pretty hot out here in the yard, so we take breaks when we can. We don't have a lot of time for sitting around though. There is always someone looking for a specific cut or a certain amount of material for a project. We keep our eyes on the quality of what comes in because we don't want to pass on anything that isn't solid. Sometimes the deliveries are late and that throws off the whole schedule, but we deal with it as it comes. We’ve got some old equipment that still runs fine and we use it to move the heavier slabs. It’s a simple life, working with your hands and making sure the orders are filled correctly. Most of our regulars are guys we’ve known for years. They just pull up, tell us what they need, and we get to work. That’s how we like to run things here in the industrial zone.
