Being in the road building business, one thing we don’t have to worry about is being snowed in. As long as the weather isn’t so cold that we can’t start the equipment, you’ll find our men out and about plowing everyone’s driveways up and down our road and a few …

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a firm believer in giving kids meaningful “work” to do :). Charlie is “working” in this photo.   Fourth-generation construction business owner coming right up 🙂

I have always used a Tickler Filing system for bill paying and other things which have dated deadlines.  I have 6 such red files which are numbered with the dates as follows:  1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, and 26-31.  I don’t have enough dated deadlines to warrant a file for …

When the going gets tough, bring on the dynamite!  The guys are building a road in some very rocky terrain out north of us.  It’s much too rocky to dig with the dozers so they drilled some holes, filled them with dynamite, and blew up the rock!  Above, Josh is waiting …

It seems as though Josh has grown up into a young adult almost over night this summer!!  The only thing that will pull him away from working with his dad and grandpa is basketball (LOL)!

Josh has been helping his dad and grandpa all summer.  Today he greased all the equipment for them!  With all the grease that ended up on his clothes, we had to wonder (and tease him) if any grease ended up on the equipment.  Some clothes are just not meant to be …

“…And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men….”  Colossians 3:23 Anyone who knows Nathan will testify that he is the personification of “heartily.”  He takes his work seriously and with a joyful attitude (most of the time).
