February Construction Spending

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 by Sam Simon

As expected construction spending fell in February marking the fifth consecutive month of lowered spending. The silver lining to this cloud was that it only fell by 0.3% as opposed to the expected 1% some experts were predicting.

The unfortunate news for the non-residential construction community is that spending continued to fall for this segment and the area that had been carrying the entire industry on its shoulders seems to be stumbling a bit now. Yet, public construction saw a rise in spending which is good news as this area is predicted to remain strong throughout the year.

Happy Holloween - Lift Industry Style

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007 by Sam Simon

I received an e-mail from Equipment Parts Wholesale that had images of carved pumpkins featuring lift equipment. I thought I’d share them as they were entertaining to me, and it’s Halloween. Plus I didn’t dress up so this is my way of feeling festive. Enjoy.

Quick note: Custom patterns and carvings were created (on a dark and stormy night!) by employees and family members of EPWparts.com. Special thanks to the MacFarland, Austin, and Tjerrild families.
