Yeah I will if I can figure out how.
Just let me know if you need any help with it.
Backlog is a little light, we don't have as much negotiated stuff in the pipeline.
Machine work is busy/ environmental work is busy / hand/select demo is slow.

sounds like cool jobs you got going. can you post some pictures of the demo?
It's a concrete building, 250' long by 80' wide, its on the Westbank of the Mississippi river in Gretna. We used a long reach excavator to demo the building. We are waiting on a contract for a Federal Building in downtown N.O. That will help keep some equipment and manpower busy through the summer.

sounds like you are doing OK with the scrap prices holding up. what kind of nine story are you wrecking in New Orleans?
We have been busy with all our equipment and personnel. We picked up a nice nine story demo job in New Orleans, along with some more plant work in Baton Rouge and Houston. I do thing it is definitely slow out there, our backlog is a little thin. I think in today's market you really need to be able to work in all areas of the business, Commercial, Industrial, Petro-Chemical, etc. We couldn't do it any other way. It's been really nice having the scrap market where it is but it seems like that benefit is negated by the increase in fuel and trucking cost.
I have received a few e-mails and everyone is stating the same. The 2nd half looks a lot better than the first.
I have 2 jobs on the books that I bid 2 months ago when Diesel was around $3.80 a gallon now its pushing $4.25 a gallon and the jobs don't start for another month. After all the fence is installed, phase 2's are done and abatement is finished and I get to tear down the buildings Diesel will be around $4.35 a gallon and my profits will be wittled down from the high fuel costs.
Looking good so far, I am working on a site work/lot build back and have picked up a maintenance contract that will last for three years, so at least there is some cash flow guaranteed.
I agree on the fuel though, its killing me.

Well the rest of my year looks alot better than the first half. When the year began, we didn't have anything on the books.
Since then we have completed a selective interior/exterior demo, a couple of concrete tear out's and replace, a couple of small commercial site jobs, some high end residential work and some interior commercial building.
I have 2 small houses to tear down, bid 2 interior demo's and rebuild this week and started a good size site work job this week for a hotel. I have also picked up the site prep work for a fast-food chain that is building 5 new stores around my neck of the woods.
The major problem is fuel of course. It seems that I am working twice as hard and making 1/2 the money I was.
I see a lot of commercial work out there right now but the residential market is slowwww.
