It's been a lot of fun. Hard work. Long, long days. Blood, sweat and, yes, tears. Looking back on the past 15 years though the first word that comes to mind is simply 'fun'. As I turn the page on this chapter I want to say thank you. Thank you to all the clients I've been able to service and to all the frienships I've made. I'm humbled and happy to have been a part of so many people's projects and dreams. After the 31,000 jobs that Crane Guys has completed (so far) I know I can't remember them all. Although looking through some off the 100,000 pictures I have brings me back to a lot of them! Even though a lot of them were the same old thing...like trusses, trusses and more trusses, it's an honour to have been a part of every build.

I have tried to offer this service and this company with dedication and integrity. To treat every customer as I would want to be treated. Maybe I didn't get it right every time. But I tried my best. I tried and I hoped that it showed. So thank you to all the people I've met and worked with over the years. I have a lifetime of fond and fun memories. Especially to the amazing staff I've been able to work with and who have also worked to the best of their abilities. I couldn't have done it without. To my business partner and my brother Roscoe (Russ), thank you for being there in the trenches with me. I love you man. I'd like to extra especially thank my family for putting up with me not being around as much as I wanted to be. Those long days, weeks and months were hard, but we did it, we built something to be so proud of. I hope I've made you proud.

Or maybe it was all just 'too easy' like Dwayne Dwayne Bernard would say. 😁

And as Curt of Power Builders LTD would ask now....How's the self-employment going? 🙃

Peter, put the coffee pot on. We have some catching up to do.

And Dr. Phil have the root b**r ready. 😁

Take care.

It's the end of an era.

I met Peter 20 years ago when I was introduced to the wonderful world of trusses when I was hired as a driver for All Fab. Peter didn't give me the time of day. To him I was just another driver that would come along for a good time and not a long time. He was right. I lasted a year there. I guess he knew something that I didn't at the time. 😁

Fast forward a few years and, as fate would have it, we would have the opportunity to work together again. He came to work with Crane Guys and, naturally, was an immediate asset to our little company. He brought with him a wealth of knowledge and experience. Pete's dedication to his trade and our clients is second to none. He is much more than a operator. He is an ambassador, a colleague, a friend, a gentleman, a leader.

There were countless lifts where Peter went above and beyond to get the task done and keep the customer happy. When a client would call about a tricky situation and they weren't sure if the lift they needed done was even possible, I could always say with confidence, "If it can be done, Peter is the guy do it." Not once did he ever let me down. Not once.

With over 35 years of craning trusses (and some other stuff) he has completed every job, literally tens of thousands, with professionalism and safety in mind. He has earned the respect of our customers, his co-workers, our competitors, our community.

We wish Pete all the best for what the future brings.

Peter, you will be missed immensely and we thank you for all you have done for us and the person you are.

We at Crane Guys are very honoured you shared your time with us and proud of what you have helped us accomplish.

A tricky one up and over and between the trees. Knuckleboom for the win!

If you listen closely you can hear .dumeir whisper 'The mighty Thor can kiss my a**'......or that's what I thought I heard anyway.

The 'kerplunk' sound is quite satisfying though.
