About our Guests:
Geoff and Colette Heschel and their three children live in Morse, Saskatchewan. They own and operate a boiler, superheater, and agricultural trucking business called GH Well Services Inc. In addition to GH Well Services Inc. In 2012, Geoff decided to build an above-ground deck that could easily be adjusted should the soil shift. Not liking the appearance, quality, or ease of use of any of the products in his local building supplies stores, he decided it would be simpler to build his own. This is how the GH The Leveller was born.
