Thanks Nick... I was just outside in the sunshine and noticed that I was able to scratch around a little in the dirt with the toe of my boot.... Good things come to those that wait!

Re: 45 Days Until Spring!


Here in Nebraska we are drilling 24" holes 6' deep for street lights and started by using a bobcat and auger with hardend teeth cost $90 for 8 teeth and lasted 4 holes. Had to switch to a digger truck with carbide teeth on it, working good so far. Frost is about 2' thick on this job. Definitly can't wait until spring.

Re: 45 Days Until Spring!


have a livestock auction/sales yard here. DENR required them to put in a lagoon, treatment facility. we got the piping/lift station out of the deal. not a huge job, but it's a start and i'm feeling much better about the work outlook. starting to get a few calls now.

Re: 45 Days Until Spring!


After 2" of rain in 24 hours @ 60º....
mud season has arrived here!
Doubt we'll have enough continuous
cold for a deep re-freeze now.
