| Potholes in the Driveway |
On tap yesterday was major repairs for the three families us who share the driveway. 24 years of hard use had taken its toll and it was time for some repairs before sealing the drive in advance of the winter season.

| Men at Work Removing the Old Asphalt |
There were big trucks and stone, and rollers, and hot asphalt. The old parts of the drive were removed and new supporting gravel was emplaced and packed down. It was a process.
It was fun to watch, although it would have been more exciting if the repairs were not being paid for out of my piggy bank.

| New Gravel for Stabilization Arrives |
It was a well orchestrated plan that successfully saw the completion in near record time. In a move that almost never happens, the crews arrived almost an hour earlier than they indicated they would. Perhaps it was to beat the heat of the day.

| Spreading the Asphalt |
They worked along in three separate areas of the driveway. Fully synchronized. Not working fast, but working steady.
Progress was seen with every passing minute.
At the end of the process, the rough areas of the driveway were fully restored. In a couple of weeks, the entire driveway, including the new areas will be sealed for added protection!

| At the End--It looks Great! |
What a day. And all I had to do was watch.
Oh yea, and pay!
