What actually happens at Cossart
There is no industry at Cossart and no commercial strip, so nobody should pretend otherwise: the work here is house repairs, barn and fence projects, tree removal and the occasional party on a lawn. A Cossart booking is almost always a single standard unit for one to four weeks, dropped on a stone drive and collected when the crew finishes.
Because Cossart has so few addresses, deliveries are grouped with the nearby Chadds Ford and Fairville stops rather than run as their own trip.
Lawn parties at Cossart are the one time a second unit gets ordered, usually for a graduation or an anniversary in June. Even then a Cossart host rarely needs more than two, since the guest list is the neighbors and the family rather than a village.
Horse ground and fencing work around Cossart
The ridge around Cossart is horse country, and post-and-rail fencing, run-in sheds and ring footing projects are the steady jobs. Fencing crews at Cossart work the line rather than one spot, so the unit sits at the gate end where the trailer parks and the crew starts each morning.
Owners at Cossart nearly always ask for the unit out of the horses' sight line, which is sensible, since a strange object at a paddock corner can unsettle a young animal for days.
Weather and road limits at Cossart
Cossart Road climbs and twists, and in ice or heavy snow a loaded truck has no business on it at all. Winter service at Cossart is scheduled midday after salting, and a homeowner who can meet the driver at the road saves everyone a great deal of trouble.
Summer storms bring down limbs along the Cossart ridge, and the tree crews that follow need a unit for a week at a time on very short notice.
