[john1066]

We did this job 2 years ago.
It was an 80 acre site and a 20 million dollar contract. there were 60-70 people working on site at all times.4 superintendents 4 labor foreman operators and laborers. we had to bring in 300,000 cubic yards of structural fill to get the site up to grade.

nice job. why did they move the house? I'm surprised you didn't just demo it. you mean they actually wanted to live in the middle of a shopping center?

Judging by the looks of the house, and its age, it may have some sort of historical significance.

 

[john1066]

The house was moved because of the historical society but part of getting the project going was that the chamber of commerece wanted a new office so they got the house but they have to re hab it. it has been sitting empty since we were done.

John you must have done some of the work over there on school street and 140

 

[John H]

Thats right we did. I took a few trees in the wires out front. This fall we cleared for a new sign on 140. Any pics of us out front?

 

[john1066]

I didn't get out to the front much. I spend most of my time on the 345 out in the back. and then i was in charge of getting all of the building pads graded which was a big job in its self.

what kind of trees did you take out? How big were they?

 

[john1066]

I don't think they were that big but john H works for a tree company we use quite a bit
