Keeping a Historic Over-The-Rhine Renovation on Schedule
We got the call on a Tuesday morning for a five-story Italianate renovation on Vine Street. The site was a narrow alley between century-old brick walls, and the general contractor needed units delivered and serviced without blocking the only access for material deliveries. The April showers had turned the ground to mud, and if we couldn't get our truck in and out fast, we'd hold up the entire masonry crew for the day.
Our driver arrived at 6 AM, before any other trades showed up. Using a smaller, more maneuverable truck with a power-steer axle, he backed two of our standard units right up to the building's foundation. He placed them on wooden cribbing we keep on the truck for soft ground, locked them down, and was cleared out by 6:45. The foreman told us he'd never seen a porta-potty delivery that smooth on a tight urban site.
Mark's crew had those units set before our coffee was cold, and they never missed a weekly service, even in that mud.
