Tim was heading up Hudgins and then started a group called AMC Demolition and that's the last I knew, like you said... poof! When I worked with Steve P. I was actually an employee of DHGriffin and was on loan to Steve for about two and a half years and then I was posted to the Atlanta division for about five years. I have my own sole proprietorship now, LDC Contracting. I do some demo some construction and resource recovery. I am also an independent rep for General Kinematics/ Sherbrooke OEM and am trying to open the market here in alabama and Georgia for various types of recycling systems. I miss blasting though, I have to say of the past 20 years my time with Steve was probably the most fun I've had in demolition.

No that wasn't us in the steeple, but I do remember that delay! I was in the office building directly behind the church and had a clear view of the shot with the Tutwiler to our left and Energen to the right. It was a great frame for the shot (my camera died so I didn't get photos).
Man HT could talk the legs of a donkey and then convince it to go for a walk. I remember Tim, we were mostly competing in the Atlanta area so i only saw him at prebids.
We had gotten the RFQ from Levy Wrecking at literally the last minute so I had very little time to investigate the building but I do remeber the gen set. I would have thought Hudgins would have that out for sure.

I remember Harold, one of my ex-coworkers at DH Griffin worked for Hudgins for many years. I wasn't able to make it to Harold's funeral though, I'll always regret that.
I watched that shot in Bham. That was the old Essex House right across the street from the Tutwiler Hotel. I was working with Steve Pettigrew at the time and we had bid on that job with Levy Wrecking from out of Nashville. I watched the shot from a lawyer friends office. We had a great view from above the top of the episcopal church. It was nicely done shot. I do remember you had to cover the new facade of the Library; man that must have been a cause for concern!
