Comments: K&P Manufacturing built the foundations for a fairly large storage building and a barn and erected the storage building. Mark Krenek, the owner, did a very professional job in building the forms and pouring the foundations and I'm sure those foundations will last for many years. He and his crew also did a great job in building our Mueller storage building. It was up very quickly and Mark's high standards of workmanship were evident during the process. I recommend K&P Manufacturing very strongly.

Comments: The Front Street Steakhouse was recommended by the desk clerk at my motel and her advice was right on target. The restaurant was just a few minutes away from the Ogallala interchange on I-80. My ribeye steak dinner was great and was the home-cooking that many places advertise, but few places can deliver on. While I was waiting for my meal, I enjoyed the many Western paintings and photographs that decorate the restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive. I also had a steak dinner at a chain restaurant the next day in Denver and it was no where near as good as the dinner at the Front Street Steakhouse.

Comments: My wife and I ordered a 4-stall shedrow Barnmaster barn with a feed room and tack from Tri-County Barns, and we are extremely pleased with the result. Due to an extended period of rainy weather, it took us longer than anticipated to move the dirt to prepare the pad site for the barn. Keith Thaemar, the General Manager, was flexible in rescheduling the barn delivery and construction. He sent his Project Manager to the site several times to check that the forms were laid out properly before we poured concrete and to oversee the crew constructing the barn. The crew did a great job of working through more rain and mud to complete the barn and they also did a great job of cleaning the site when they finished. The end result is a very high-quality barn that complements our property and will be a safe, comfortable home for our horses. Tri-County Barns has our strongest recommendation for building great barns!
