Use The Crosswalk
 
It’s time to go back to school/work now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over.
 
To help everyone get back into the swing of things, our crews did a great job on this student drop off/pick up school fence. The purpose is to keep kids and people safe by requiring them to use the crosswalks rather than attempt to go through moving vehicle traffic.

Side note: Crosswalks have been used since the early 1950s (supposedly originating in Great Britain) in an attempt to protect pedestrians.

Wild About The Weather

Recently its gone from being hot and dry with wild fires to freezing cold and snow. The weather is wild. And so are some of the creatures that live in our neighborhoods.

Our crews did a nice job on this 5′ high, woven wire fence with wood posts and redwood rails to keep the wild horses from eating the trees in Stagecoach (Lyon County.)

To quote our customer: “I’m happy with my new fence.” – H.V.

Nice Work. Thumbs (Gates) Up

Here’s a thumbs (gates) up to our crews for some nice fence and gate installs at a Mound House storage unit in Lyon County.

We replaced an existing, slide gate with a tilt-up gate in a chain link fence for a delivery entrance. And we installed ornamental iron fencing with another tilt-up gate for the main entrance.

The gates are by Auto Gates. The electric and access controls are by others.
