ON THE BOARDER CONSTRUCTION

About ON THE BOARDER CONSTRUCTION

Caldwell sits right against the Oklahoma line, close enough that a north wind crossing the Chikaskia River bend can carry weather across two states before Sumner County even notices it's arrived. On the Boarder Construction spends its regular days on framing and building work around town, and when a front drops snow across that open state-line country, the same crew turns its equipment to the driveways, lots, and approaches that need clearing before daylight. Caldwell's old brick storefronts sit close to the street, with narrow walks and angled parking that take real attention to clear without scraping a curb or a door front. The company works those blocks and the farm drives running out toward the river bottoms with the same steady hand it uses on a job site. By morning, the walks along Main Street and the drives out past the grain elevators sit open again, ready for a town that starts its day early, across Caldwell and the borderland towns around it.
