It’s October already! A special time of year that invites spooky decorations, football, and pumpkin spice lattes. The cooler weather also brings a welcome break from the heat for our construction workers before the chill of winter arrives.

September is a special month for us in the construction industry; it means we’ve wrapped up all the big summer projects and are gearing up for the next big job. There’s also something else to look forward to—the first holiday since July 4th (and the unofficial end of summer) is soon approaching. That’s right; Labor Day is just around the corner. We hope that you’re able to enjoy the time off work with your family and want to inform you that we will be closed on Monday, September 5, to celebrate the holiday.

Speaking of having a good time, TireSocks sported a fun and dirty time at the MudGirl 5K obstacle course on August 13 in Colorado Springs. Take a look for yourself here.

August is upon us! As summer winds down and fall comes around the corner, we hope you’ve soaked in enough sun to last a year. But whether you’ve had your fill of fun or not, there’s one more event you can’t afford to miss. Feel free to either cheer or join in on the fun as our team battles it out in the MudGirl 5K in Colorado Springs. The date? August 13. We’ll be rooting for ourselves!

Meanwhile, you already know what time it is with the NFL football season coming up. Kudos for guessing it right! With the NFL preseason starting August 4, its time to sign-up for TireSocks NFL Pick’em Pool. As always, it’s FREE to participate, so don’t miss out on your chance to win $$$, swag and bragging rights! Details and the sign-up link are available below.

Wow, what a heat wave last month! June brought thirteen 90-degree days to Denver and the earliest 100-degree day on record. Hope you’re all staying hydrated during this busy construction season. We enjoyed a nice long weekend and hope you had a fun and relaxing Independence Day as well!

As we embark on July, we’re excited to be getting out of the office for a few fun events, like the MudGirl 5K Obstacle course, a cornhole tournament here in Denver and a golf tournament in Washington. We look forward to meeting and seeing some of you at these events!

Our featured product for this month is TireSocks. If you’re lucky enough to be working inside during these heat waves, make sure your finished floor is protected. TireSocks protect flooring from scuffs, scratches and marks left behind by rubber and residue from non-marking tires.

It’s that beautiful time of year again when companies have a good look at their plans and tackle the much-anticipated summer to-do list. ‘Tis the season of sunblock, flip flops, pool towels, vacation, and the construction rush! And with the spike in projects comes the need for added safety precautions. 

Have you prepared your practices, equipment, and inventory for the summer heat (in more ways than one)?

June is National Safety Month, a special time when members of the construction industry unite to observe new and effective ways of creating safer workplaces. As a leading safety advocate, the National Safety Council organizes industry initiatives that include injury prevention and spreading greater awareness about slips, trips, and falls.
