This summer Watkins Concrete Block and Builders of the Future “Building & Developing Tomorrow’s Construction Leaders” hosted a two-day Teach the Teachers event. The event had a great turn out of nine teachers from the Omaha metropolitan area. The first day of the event Jeremy Ramsey, Watkins Residential Masonry Specialist, took the teachers through a hands-on learning experience of masonry ranging from laying concrete masonry units to laying brick. The second day of the event the teachers were able to install a patio from beginning to end with the guidance of Mike Newcomer, Watkins Hardscape Specialists. Huge thanks to Mark Bowder, Executive Director, and Dave Robinson, Program Facilitator, with Builders of the Future for helping set up the event. Also a big thanks goes out to some local contractors, SunCo and Indigenous Landscaping, for donating tools and equipment for the event.
