Apparently a site work company was exploring for a leak from an underground fuel tank at their truck depot in Manchester, NH. The company began digging with an excavator in an area specifically designated by Art not to be disturbed due to a lack of clearly defined \u2018as built\u2019 drawings that showed the potential existence of an 8\u201d diameter water main. The contractor dug, hit the high pressure water line and the empty fuel tanks blew out of the ground about 10\u2019 in the air. Water was shut down for all businesses in the area. By the time I got to the site the TV News choppers were there and the project was a catastrophe. Art signed a contract on the spot \u2013 we had the project finished in less than two days \u2013 new fuel tanks, rerouted water line and completed reconstruction of the degraded area due to the water\u2019s force. All was up and running in two days. The real task was accessing \u2018Super Fund\u2019 monies not only to pay us but to reimburse AGNE as well. Mr. House accessed those funds for AGNE\u2026If you need a guy who can assess a problem in an instant and put corrective action in place in the blink of an eye \u2013 get the work done and get you paid \u2013 Then Art is your guy.\u201d<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>&#8211; Darrell Dodge, President\u00a0 Dodge Construction, NH<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b897a80 elementor-icon-list--layout-inline elementor-align-center underline-css elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"b897a80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items elementor-inline-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/metawebpro.com\/arthurhouse\/testimonials\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Testimonials<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/metawebpro.com\/arthurhouse\/industry-experience\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Industry Experience<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/metawebpro.com\/arthurhouse\/mediation\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Mediation<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item elementor-inline-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/metawebpro.com\/arthurhouse\/advisory\/\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Advisory<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c1956b elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"8c1956b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"widget-wrapper widget-element html diy-resizable \">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"widget-id-1216360\" class=\"widget-body \" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"testimonial-slider\">\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"testimonial-slide\">\r\n    <p class=\"testimonial-text\">\r\n       \"Art's greatest strengths are his energy, creativity and optimism.
