Since my last post, we literally had a flood. On Thursday, October 29th, we had more rain in an hour and a half than I ever remember seeing. Whew!! We did have one day last week when we could do some much needed patching throughout the precinct. We also were able to unclog some culverts and bridges in the rain. Thanks to my crew who never complained about work that had to be done regardless of the weather. We also got the pad for the materials bunk laid out so we can get started on that next week.
This week we were able to finish patching the worst places in the precinct on Monday. Tuesday, we began installing two sets of tile culverts on CR1540 for Ms. Chism. We ran into probems when we cut a phone cable and had to move to another job while repairs were being made. The cable was in the middle of the ditch, not off to the side per the code so my crew not not liable. In the meantime we installed another culvert on CR1632 that was intended to be done a month ago. Wednesday and Thursday, we got some topping material and scabbed more sections on CR1632 and CR1314. We also had time to finish the tile culverts for Ms Chism on CR1540. Today, we have at least two and, if time permits, maybe three culverts for Mr. Griffin on CR1035, Mr. Johnson on CR1540, and Dr. Robertson on CR1675.
At last the proposition election is over and resolved. The people spoke loud and clear about their wishes concerning beer and wine sales in the city. That sounds like the good "ole" American way of doing things is working!
