Downtown blocks and the old storefronts
The brick storefronts on the Collinsville square are being reworked one at a time, usually by small crews on tight lots. A Collinsville storefront job keeps its unit in the rear alley, since the front parking is what the neighboring businesses depend on.
Street and pavement projects on the Collinsville grid move a block at a time through the dry months. We reposition a Collinsville unit at each weekly visit so the crew never walks back past finished concrete. Downtown events in Collinsville close a block or two, and the bank goes at the closure end where a truck still reaches it.
Pasture, hay and horse ground
A few blocks out, Collinsville is pasture, hay meadows and horse property on section-line roads. A Collinsville farm order sits inside the gate on gravel, close to where the crew parks and clear of any paddock that is in use.
Fence rebuilding and pond work fill the Collinsville calendar through fall when the ground is finally firm. Those Collinsville rentals stay a few weeks apiece on one service visit a week. Ponds and dirt work around Collinsville wait for a dry spell, so a rental often sits idle through a wet two weeks before the dozer returns.
New houses and storm season
Builders are filling the ground between the Collinsville grid and the pasture with new streets and larger lots. A Collinsville framing crew keeps one unit at the active house, moved down the block as slabs are poured ahead of them.
Spring storms hit this part of the county hard, and a Collinsville site can lose a week to rain and wind in April. We strap and reposition Collinsville units before a forecast turns rather than picking them up out of a ditch afterwards.
