Now that I have entered middle age (good heavens where have the years gone!) I have been doing a lot more self-reflection. Am I happy? Am I satisfied with who I’ve become? And, where do I go from here? My peers will know where am coming from. Life is short, as a great book put...
My Dad was someone who taught his seven children the value and the honor of an honest days work. Dad owned a dairy and during one stretch worked seven years without a single day off. Thankfully some of that work ethic rubbed off on his children, we’re thankful for the example. Successful concrete raising often...
I think most Americans recoil at how the military can be charged $650 for a hammer or a toilet seat and I’m no different. We expect our leaders to get the best deal they can for our hard-earned tax dollars so why does this type of thing happen? In addition to many residential jobs and...

Unseen supports under the slab – damage of the slab almost certain with attempted lift. Cracks running adjacent and near edges – very difficult not...

At what point is concrete too far gone to be raised? When the concrete has bad spalling (top chipping off) or has cracks too close together (10×10 slab with three cracks or more) it is often time to replace, not raise. In addition to the above, when the base soils are not fairly solid and...
Have you seen some of the stained concrete out there? Works of art! Concrete staining is a great way to freshen up your entry your walks and patio or even your driveway at a fraction the cost of new. This last summer my wife, after much cajoling convinced me to stain our entry. Let me...
I was walking the loop trail in the Wenatchee area this morning and noticed a large void under one of the boat launches. With the draw down of the pools behind Wanapum, Rock Island and Rocky Reach dams, now is the time to void fill and/or raise concrete boat launches, sea walls and embankments. In...
Someone once said, “find something you love to do, make that your career, and you will never work a day in your life” When you love doing something, you are driven to excellence without exterior motivation.
