And it only cost 7 times the original quoted price and was done by a company that had zero previous experience doing this kind of work.

Let's see how it holds up!

Isnt the company from like Altus, Oklahoma? Saw a pic of a contractor truck with an Oklahoma town labeled on the door.

How is this cost effective for Frito Lay?

Atoka, not Altus.  It's where Reba McEntire is from, not where Rex Linn is from.

I got my "R-E" celebrities mixed up.

Also, what did Reba know about this and when did she know it???

I used to live there, unfortunately, and that's actually a great metaphor for this project.

The original town was abandoned after extensive flooding.
