Just Another Day Another Shovel At OmniScapes
It all began last summer I just graduated from Pickerington Central High School and I felt like I was on top of the world. The summer had just started and I needed a full time job to get my new adult life off on a good financial start. My mom knew of a guy named Adam Craycraft who was an owner of OmniScapes, which was a land and hardscape company. My mom thought this would be a cool and interesting job opportunity for me since I’ve never done anything like this before. So I thought to myself
Yea this would be perfect job for the summer I get to work outside all day and learn something new maybe even one day I’ll be able to build my own patio! So that’s exactly what I did I got an interview with Adam and nailed the job I even got one of my good friend Wesley a job there also. We both didn’t really know what we got ourselves into until we got out there actually doing it. Our job at OmniScapes was to be apart of the hardscape crew, which involves us to build patios or any type of masonry work for a client. Hardscape has to be one of the hardest hard labor jobs out there; when I started the first month was pretty rough, but you got use to it once you saw how big your paychecks were every two weeks. There was this one-day where it was the absolute worst day I’ve ever had at OmniScapes. The day started like any other work day getting up early around 5 A.M. to get dressed, pack my lunch, and make myself a cup of coffee

I get out my car, open up the trunk, put on my boots and grab my lunch. Then I go see my foremen, Chip to see what hardscape crew I’m going with and what doing for the day. Today will be my first time working with the two owners the Craycraft brothers. I already know Adam
