Delivering to new schools

Hi folks!
You would think delivering to a new school would be half way easy. Wrong, I had a new school Monday in Michgan the only good thing the ground was froze.I had to drive around pipes sticking up out of the ground steel grates for drains.I was told please dont hit anything.I thought oh really.I thought this place isnt ready for freight yet pictures to follow. Everyone have a good day.
Untill next time be safe.
Dick
