Some of what we do.....

This my picture test thread, and while I'm at it, I figured I don't post many pics and maybe it's time I showed a little of what we do. Always been envious of Mike NZ's picture library and about 6 months ago, I started having the guys take daily proj>>>

All it takes is a healthy diet and a big thumb.>>>

I agree with the comment encouraging use of the photos on your web site my question is must one take the sAt test to gain acceptance into the king's kollege of estimating ?>>>

I'm seeing where owning your own crane is a huge advantage on this type of work. I've done a few of these honeys in days gone by, it's just slow work. Ain't no such thing as a bad job to do, if'n you figure enough manhours and can get the price of it>>>
