We got a note on the door that the Town was going to redo the cul-de-sac. It was quite the process and we enjoyed watching it each day. They had a machine that chewed up the asphalt into very fine pieces and mixed it in with the dirt. They moved a lot of the dirt around and made big piles. Dagny and Lincoln wished they go could go mountain climbing on it.
It was fun to watch them dump big loads of dirt into the trucks. I wondered how long it takes a driver to learn how to dump without spilling some or all of it.
They dug a big hole for something.
Then they started smoothing out the dirt. We sat outside on the curb and watched for about half an hour. Lincoln especially liked it and said he wanted to be a construction worker and drive big trucks.
Finally replacing the asphalt. They did a circle at a time and it took 3 or 4 rounds to get it all done. I thought it would smell really bad, but there was only a small odor to it. Maybe they use different materials now.
All done! It took all week, and now it's so nice and smooth. The kids can hardly wait to ride their bikes on it.
