A job well done

Our little village has two loops.  On Friday morning the roadwork crew were working on the other loop for most of the day.  I could hear them in the distance.  Then mid afternoon I looked out to see them headed my way.  The little convoy looked like they were lining up my back door.  

They just had the final application of seal to apply.  I know you can see a man having a little sit but, believe me, a few minutes later it was all hands on deck.  To be honest, I think those men work hard and deserve a little rest now and then.



 
The attention to detail was surprising
 
 
Every man has a job

It's raining today, so no "after" photo just yet.

  1. Your photos capture the process. Nothing smoother than a newly surfaced road.

  3. As you say there is great attention to detail with big machinery in confined roads. It amazes me. I'm loong forward to the final pictures.

  4. I have a lot of respect for our road-working gangs. A friend of mine once did that and he said wearing all the safety gear in summer is SO hot, and yet they still manage to keep going. It really is jolly hard work :)

  5. The machine operators seemed very skillful, I really enjoyed watching the process.

  6. I have frequent "little sits"...and I don't exert nearly as much energy as those fellows do. :)

  14. Hi Pauline, I am so happy to see that you are still blogging. I miss blogging for fun. The only reason I stopped was because I couldn't upload pictures the easy way anymore. I hope you are doing well.

    Sending good vibes your way.

    Love, JarieLyn in Las Vegas
