June 22nd Storm Damage

We've finally got power and internet back in our shop and office although our pumphouse is still without.  Our pumphouse is on a seperate line and we have discovered a large tree which fell over the electrical lines to the pumphouse.  ComEd will be contacted to come fix this problem. 

Trying to get back on schedule today as yesterday was frantic with cleanup.  Cleanup was pretty much wrapped up but we will continue to have some smaller branches throughout the golf course where the guys have been instructed to pick them up as they drive from job to job.  Again, I feel we were fortunate as the damage received was fairly minimal.  Today Johnson's Tree Service will be out to help cleanup some remaining damaged trees.  These are trees that were damaged significantly and need to be removed as safety is a concern.

Thanks to all the guys on the crew for their hard work yesterday in getting things cleaned up from the storm.  Hopefully these next few days will give us some relaxed weather and let us get caught up and back on track.  Below are some pictures that were taken throughout the course to show some of the damage we received.
