The snow here looks better this morning... Son Scott brought a big 4
wheel drive backhoe with him when he came home last night and cleared
his drive, his father-in-law's (lives a mile south of us) drive and my
whole drive and barn lot.
I forget what kind of hoe it was but I think that one was probably the
Deere since that is the one he likes best. It did have a tight cab and
a good heater. He said he spent most of Wednesday in it moving snow at
his current job site just so they could keep working.
The company does a lot of commercial trenching, underground boring and
pipe bursting. Scott's crew spends most of their time installing main
"backbones" in subdivisions under contract with Indianapolis Power and
Light. Surprisingly they are still quite busy. They spent a lot of
time in 2008 at the new terminal site at Indianapolis International
Airport.
It seems a little strange during these times that are tough for a lot
of people that one of their biggest problems is finding workers that,
one, will show up for work, and two, can pass a drug test...
