I'm Carlos Acosta, a construction laborer with nearly forty years of experience in framing, concrete, and roofing. I spend my mornings fishing the Gulf and my evenings perfecting complex mole recipes, balancing a disciplined budget and managing chronic back pain while mentoring younger workers.
Check out my latest field guide on Gulf Coast Construction - built from four decades of hands-on experience with the salt, wind, and heat of the Texas coast.
