The review of SSD Construction Division.

1. FY 13-14
“There are people in this country who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay
And it's time a few of them were recognized”

2. Please accept my sincere congratulations on having hired and trained
such a stellar employee as Mitchell Metcalf. He is truly an exceptional
human being and an over-the-top asset to your organization.
My husband and I have just purchased my childhood home at 238 Texas Spur
Road. The first thing to go was the sewer system, which we fixed two weeks ago for
about $2000. This morning, Mitchell was driving by our new clean out on his way to
another job when he noticed we had a problem. Instead of simply calling the town of
Montreat and reporting a sewage leak, he stopped and investigated. Not only that,
but he called his supervisor to ask permission to get your heavy equipment out here
to find the source of the problem. Once his team discovered an incorrect plumbing
solution (from two weeks ago), Mitchell again called in and received permission to
replace the clean out with the proper one for the circumstances.
I may be saying all the wrong things technically, but from a human standpoint, I just
have to say that if it weren't for the fine character of Mitchell Metcalf, I would have
had a flooded house (again) (fourth time in as many weeks), and my life would have
been absolutely miserable.
Thank you for hiring such a fine person, thank you for giving him permission to go
above and beyond what was required of him. Please put this letter in his personnel
file and give him a promotion as soon as you can!
God bless you and thank you. Sincerely,
Patricia Tubbs Burdett
(Mrs. N. Bruce)

19. Good afternoon
I wanted to write a short note
regarding Randy’s job we visited near
Johnson School Rd. The excavation
was 17 feet deep and the shield boxes
used were stacked 8 foot steel
boxes. The shields were placed well
and the ends were dug back making a
safe trench to enter. There were two
aluminum boxes there for a manhole
installation and Randy had already
brought the end panels to use. This
job was well planned, orderly, and
very safe. I would add this was not an
easy place to be in terms of depth and
the rock which was
encountered. Randy and his crew are
to be commended.
A job well done!
