The steady Lents workload
Lents keeps our trucks busy with everyday jobs. Older houses off Foster and 92nd are constantly getting reworked, and the neighborhood's infill, skinny-lot builds, duplex conversions, and ADUs, means a standard unit parked at the curb for the length of a project. The Foster Road business strip and the food-cart pods send the occasional tenant remodel our way, where a deluxe flushing unit suits a longer build. Community events at Lents Town Center or the park usually want a couple of standards and a handwashing station, with an ADA-accessible unit when the gathering is open to the public.
Curb spots and infill crunch
This part of Southeast is a tight residential grid with cars along both curbs and new infill squeezed onto lots that once held a single house, so getting a unit into a back corner or a shared driveway takes a moment of planning. We would rather hear about the pinch, an alley, a side gate, a saved parking spot, before the truck arrives on a packed block. Give us the access and we set the unit against the fence or in the cleared spot, out of the sidewalk and clear of the neighbors' driveways.
Wet ground and the city calendar
Far Southeast gets the same long gray drizzle as the rest of the eastside, and a dug-out foundation or a fresh ADU pad turns to mud through it, so we set units on boards in the wet months to keep them level. Summer dries out and the events and building both peak. Anything that has to sit on the street or a public grass strip is a City of Portland right-of-way question first, not a promise from us; check with them, since a permit may apply before we deliver.
