Heavy Metal

It's been a busy two days in the neighborhood. The truck arrived yesterday and the new concrete sidewalks were poured.





They came out beautiful, and are now up to standard regulations at a foot wider than the original.

Today the roadwork began. The blacktop has been milled and a huge grader followed that.







In the middle of the road grinding, more concrete arrived for the side street's walkways, and a tree service cut down several large trees that were on city property and in the way.



The chipper was huge and I would love to have it in the woods at home. One of the workers posed for me, pretending to hold up the tree trunk that wouldn't fall down.



I think (or at least hope) all the workers are getting a kick out of Mom and I watching everything going on and taking photos. We really are interested in how things work and what's happening next.

Later in the day, other large equipment arrived, but none (except the grader) have been pressed into service...yet.





I bet we find out what jobs are planned for all this 'heavy metal', when they fire up the engines at 7 A.M. tomorrow!
