Today there were just two guys running the big backhoe/loader and the skid-steer...actually a father and son team (We're getting to know these guys so well that pretty soon we'll have to bake them cookies!). They had to tear up and remove all the concrete catch basins for the storm sewers. There had to have been at least 20 dumpsters. As soon as one was filled, there was another delivered, following the workers down the road, making it very efficient.
Mom and I went out earlier, but then they took out the end of her driveway.
The whole road was pretty much impossible to traverse today.
Later on they brought in dirt and graded off the driveway and road. Plus a water truck went around to pack everything down. It's not pretty, but at least it's driveable.
Another piece of equipment arrived this evening. I didn't see what it was because I was out walking, but saw the huge trailer it came on. Mom said it motored down around the corner.
Tomorrow's another day...hope the sunrise is as pretty as it was this morning when we woke up to the beep, beep beeps of the machines. I'm not too sure if this is a good or bad sign, but we're getting used to all the commotion! I think the workers are all going to miss us when we head north next week.
