    I have noticed several places where mexicans(usuaully) like to make large entrances to their estates, whatever they may be. They do great work though- I think they could put their talent to work at the border!

    I thought at first it was just along the road, but it goes all the way around. That's an expensive fence. Thinking maybe they are building a house while they live in the trailer...?

    What's scary is how uneven it looks. I am very interested to see what it looks like finished.

    They ravaged his yard getting my Jeep off his property. It was raining hard that day. Someone ran the stop sign across the street and I hit him, took flight going through the ditch, and wound up 80' into his yard. Maybe he got a good settlement? If those brick columns were there, then, I'd be dead.

    looks like they had to move several pillars back from the road- they were measuring from the middle of the road to the pillars and lifting them and re-setting.

    I took a picture of it this weekend but I don't know how to attach it. I'll be glad to post if someone could help me out.

    They will end up building a huge brick home on that lot. There is one back off of hwy 55 between Coats and Angier, back behind the lil airport thingy. The Hispanic families build these "fortress" instead of them all living so cramped up together. They start by building the entrance way and live in the mobile home until they start building the house. Smart little boogers if you ask me!

    There is a little "fortress" on the other side of hwy 210 on Old Fairground road also. It is complete with an iron gate.
    The brick home is not gigantic, but it will house two families nicely.

    I live extremely close to there and my neighbor went over there and asked what they were planning on doing when they first started clearing the land. They told her they were going to put trailers on the land. Now this was back when they were first clearing it and way before they started building the brick pillars so I hope they have changed their minds and are only going to build a house now.

    I was by there yesterday and it looked like they were pouring foundations between each column.

    Yeah they had cement trucks over there the other day. They are doing something over there right now, I can here the trucks. Still hoping it will be a house.
