Today marks 4 years since we lost our boss man, Father, business partner and best friend, Cliff.

It seems like each year, we are presented with challenges that he never had to deal with in his 40 years of business here. A worldwide pandemic, extreme cross border tariffs, the major staffing difficulties that everyone out there is facing, supply chain shortages, now, not one, but 2 devastating floods in as many weeks. The second, wiping out a ton of reconstruction work from the first flood. It's been a rough few years here, as it has for everyone. We are one of you.

In dealing with these issues, I wonder to myself how would Dad have approached dealing with these situations. He would have had a calm, level-headed, methodical approach to dealing with these things step by step. He would handle just what he had control of that day, but have a plan for the next 20 days in his head. Any time adversity rears it head, I just think of how he would handle it, and I act accordingly.

He would have taken the steps to get back up and running, so we could continue to serve our great community when they need us most. So that's we did.

He would be out helping the town in any way we could: Protection, cleanup, volunteering, serving meals, packing emergency care packages, helping muckout basements, hauling loads of damage to the dump. So that's what we did.

He would be out helping good friends, community members, neighbors and strangers, in any way he could. So that's what we did.

He would be out advocating for his community in any avenue that was available or seemed impactful. Even if it meant facing ridicule from those who were incapable of seeing the bigger picture. So that's what we did.

He would lend a listening ear to people dealing with the same, and worse problems than us. So that's what we did.

That is his legacy. It lives on through us, I am damn proud of that, and he would be too. He keeps me inspired when things get low. I carry his name on my back with honor.

Thank you so much to everyone for supporting us so we can continue to support you. You all know who you are, and I acknowledge you. We are giving everything we've got and he wouldn't have had it any other way. Anyone who has lost a parent, or someone very close to you, I respect you so much for getting up every day and overcoming. My family, and our business are here for you.

I miss you Dad, and I hope you're up there plugging some holes in the clouds for us all. Because it can't rain forever. We've got this Swan Valley. 🦾❤️🐾🌊

We plan to be open at the shop most of the day today (Friday July 3). If any one is needing steel or anything for building emergency supports, or anything like that, come by and let us know what you need. We will do our best to accommodate. We've now got a welding machine operational in our shop, and a more than capable welder working here today.

Our supply for metal and materials has been severely compromised for the last month, due to highway damage, but we are good at making things work with what we've got. The sooner you can let us know the better. We may have to shut down quickly if there is power issues. Our staff is dealing with much of the same issues as everyone else in their homes, so our hours are up in the air. We plan to be here into the late afternoon.

We will do everything in our power to assist everyone as we can. Keep your heads up out there, we will get through this together. This water will not break us. It didn't last time, and it won't this time. 💪

No words... again. 💔

Once every 200 years... or twice in 3 weeks? Every bit of work, fixing and rebuilding, totally resoaked and completely destroyed. It all came within an hour. Too late to do a thing. Even more water than last time somehow. Just trying to help the neighbors again where we can. We're so tired.

Due to imminent flooding threat, we are closing down our shop and office again until we can assess how bad this will be. Protect your homes and be safe out there. Watch out for each other.

PLEASE! Slow down when driving in flood waters. You are all creating huge waves crashing into homes and buildings again. I know it's been a week or 2 since the last time so it's easy to forget. Stay off flooded roads unless completely necessary. And if necessary, drive very slow or we're going to run out with pitchforks ♆! ☺️ Please stay safe!
