What’s the one thing that can make or break your entire trip before it even starts? Not the flight. Not the weather. It’s where you stay. The right home base does more than give you a place to drop your bags. It sets the tone for your whole experience. Pick well, and everything flows from there. Pick wrong, and even the best attractions can feel like a chore. That’s especially true in places like Bend, OR—where the landscape shifts from high desert trails to buzzing craft breweries in a single afternoon. With so much to explore, your lodging has to match the energy. Travelers are shifting their priorities. They want more than just a bed. They want a stay that feels personal, flexible, and worth talking about.

Construction work has a way of testing limits, especially when tasks move off the ground and into the air. Crews often operate dozens of feet above solid footing, balancing precision, time pressure, and safety expectations all at once. Somewhere between the planning meetings and the final inspections, equipment choices quietly shape outcomes, and the right access solution can change the tone of an entire job. On busy sites where lifts happen daily, a Crane Man Basket becomes more than a tool, it turns into a dependable partner that helps teams stay focused on the work instead of worrying about the height beneath their boots.

Samuel and Elizabeth “Phoebe” France
Samuel Fraunces was a mulatto, a person with one whie and one black parent, from Jamaica. His was most likely born in 1734, though it could have been as early at 1722. At some point in his life he immigrated to the colonies and settled in New York City, eventually becoming the owner of a tavern. It was rumored that during the Revolutionary War, his tavern was used as a meeting place for Patriots. On December 4, 1783, George Washington delivered his farewell to his officers at Fraunce’s Tavern. Apparently Washington and Fraunces had a personal and business relationship. The two dined together at the Old 76 House in Tappan, New York, and Fraunces cooked for Washington at the DeWint House, which is also in Tappan. Fraunces also served a steward to President Washington in New York City, and in Philadelphia from 1791 to 1794. George Washington Parke Custis, Martha’s grandson, remarked on Fraunces at a state dinner, “Fraunces in snow-white apron, silk shorts and stockings, and hair in full powder, placed the first dish on the table, the clock being on the stroke of four, ‘the labors of Hercules’ ceased.”

Sewer line relining is an underground pipe rehabilitation technique that involves inserting a resin liner into the damaged sewer line pipe and curing the liner so it sticks to the internal walls of the pipe. The liner dries to create a rigid, smooth surface that covers over any cracks, holes or breaks in the pipe rehabilitating the old pipe to almost new condition.
Sewer re-lining can eliminate the need to excavate and rebuild sidewalks, driveways, trees, walkways and other fixtures making trenchless sewer lining cheaper, less disruptive and more environmentally sustainable than traditional trench excavation.
