Lve2fsh Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Got to work this morning and those winds toppled a 45 foot dead pine tree at one of our post offices. Fell into the driveway so no customers could get in. We do everything we can not to contract out our jobs so 7 of us and the stake-bed showed up cut it up and hauled it away. Love being a maintenance guy, you never know what your day is going to be like.Typical govt job one guy working the others watching and yea I'm one of the watchers.
