Major maintenance

I never could have imagined I would be so interested in roadworks. Must be the old day and the fact it is all set in front of my home! But I am fascinated by the efficiently way the men do their job, it is all in tune what they have to do. There never seems to be any misunderstanding and they seem to enjoy the job and each other. Here they start to cover the parking places with pavers.

Another one is crushing the sand with a machine.

In the meantime he is constructing a drain for rainwater.

You can see how quickly the parking place has progressed.

They have a very inventive machine to lift up the pavers all together form a pallet.

And put it down in front of the one who has to watch it is landing in the right place. I remember from my early days men had to kneel down and hammer brick by brick into the streets. 

At the end of the day, the parking place is ready and the bricks for the road are already placed for the next day.

Major maintenance

The major maintenance of our street in front of our home has started this week. Big machines are riding along. As a pensionar I am home and can follow the fascinating progresses from close by.

All the paving stones are removed.

And lumped together.

Then lifted into big lorries.

The sandy street so far. Due to the heavy rains yesterday the work was stopped.

But this morning we were surprised with some "dunes" It feels almost like living on a beach now.

Men in orange with noisy machines. More pictures will follow the next days.
