• In the future fiber company would come through and splice onto the cable we pulled through for them.
• Other job duties included backfilling and hydroplaning holes.

• While the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln was being built I had the opportunity to help set lights on the bridge leading into the arena and all the lights in the back parking lot.
