About Friendly Contracting

Connersville still keeps a steam train running down along the Whitewater Valley in season, and even with the excursions parked for winter, the same river bottom the tracks follow holds onto cold, damp air longer than the hillsides above it — which means the low parts of town ice first and clear last. Friendly Contracting treats that as a map: driveways down near the old canal route get extra attention, downtown lots along the historic blocks get opened before shops start their day, and the residential streets built up the slope toward the edge of town, which drain and dry faster, get worked through on the same pass. A general contractor's trucks and blades sit idle for exactly one season, and turning them toward plowing instead of building keeps the crew working through the months when nobody's pouring concrete. What's left afterward is a town laid open block by block, low ground to high ground, the way water and cold actually move through it.
