Muskogee plant continues to grow

“Bricks are mostly for a facade, so you would use a Type A. Building with block is structural, you might use a type S, which is stronger,” he said.

Ross said mortar is used to fill the gaps between the blocks, brick or stone. Grout is what goes inside the blocks to reinforce the structure.

Ross said he is confident that his business — and Oklahoma — will weather the current economic downturn.

“We are as low economically here as we are probably going to get,” he said. “Now, this is the world according to Dave, but we are at $70 a barrel with oil. When oil is over $65 a barrel, our economy is good.”
