Better to drive up and see that than drive up and see them just setting the kelly back...
(maybe I'm showing my age--do they even use a kelly anymore?)

Yes sir. On one of those fancy new rigs. What do you do?

Some people still use them. The newer rigs are more suitable for the horizontal shale plays though. I remember this night very well. We were going in the hole and One of those bolts of lightening caught my attention. Next thing I know we were stuck bigger than chuck. Thought for sure I was run off.

H&P has one of their new flex rigs drilling for nat gas a few miles from the hotel. They are hitting some pretty good gas in the Utica shale with their horizontal wells.

I decided to post some pics of some of the projects we've done recently that are out of the ordinary. House construction is kinda boring. I like the structures we build where there is some thinking involved. Most normal residential construction is just repetitive and we don't build very many new houses because it's so competitive and there is more money in these type projects.

Addition at a hunting lodge that we started last week


50 foot handicap ramp we built last year


Dock on the river that is way up in the air until it floods. Then it's under water about 6 feet.


Another view of dock on river
