I haven’t written anything about the Sand Hill Farm property in a while, but there have been some things happening there.
Last year the Town of Culver negotiated a new storm water easement through the property. There was an existing easement that ran diagonally through the property and exited through the Culcom property on Jefferson Street. The old easement wasn’t a problem when it was planned to be just farm land, but the new easement follows the property lines putting the majority of it within the setbacks. This frees up additional land for development. It also provides several access points for future storm water control within the property. I basically negotiated this as a no cost swap with the Town. They removed the old easement which was actually a county easement in exchange for the new easement. It worked out as a win-win for both parties. The easements allow access and road construction over them, etc.
This is a non-construction tip. I saw this on Twitter the other day and wondered why no one ever told me this. The little triangle on your gas gauge next to the gas pump symbol… It’s not just a triangle, it’s an arrow pointing to the side of the car that the gas cap is on. Really!?! Why didn’t anyone tell me that? Not that it’s a huge deal, but it’s definitely one of those PITA things when you rent a car and pull in expecting it to be one way and it turns out to be the other way. I’m sure some of you (like Julie here in our office) are thinking, “Duh! How could he not know that?” Well, I didn’t. If you didn’t, you’re welcome. Ha!

Easterday Construction will be participating in Red Shirt Fridays again this year to show our support for our troops. All of our employees have been given red shirts like those to the right. Participation is voluntary, but on random Fridays all ECC employees wearing their red shirts get a $5 bonus. At the end of the summer, an equal amount will be contributed to
