As you can see, this has been a busy fall season. We were able
to take advantage of the good weather and complete most of the
tasks on our schedule. We look towards December as a time to
do Dutch Elm tree removals and then turn our attention to shop
projects. All of the snow equipment is ready, but hopefully we
will be able to do more productive work than just snow plow.
