Word gets around in a small, small town…
As I’m sure many around the Lake Mills area already know, Jason (owner, rolloff truck operator/delivery) has been in the hospital since Wednesday afternoon for sudden heart issues. What we thought would be a relatively quick visit for an Apple Watch health notification and no obvious symptoms has turned out to be quite a bit more serious.
We ask for some grace, understanding, and patience during this time and going forward with the information we’re getting day by day.

Thank you!
Jason & Katie

Where is the strangest place you’ve had to work from? I (Katie) previously worked from home for about a year, during Covid, at our dining room table, but I think my newest setup beats that. 😅

Sunday night, our entire basement (3/4 of it is finished, including my home office area) flooded due to the excessive rainfall - I know a lot of our friends and customers are in the same boat. ❤️‍🩹 I just set up my work station in our main level living room, which is where the majority of our basement furniture is residing. It’ll be a tight squeeze for a while, but standing while working is supposed to be healthier than sitting, right?
