The day has come!

We're getting a new road!! For the past year or so, the road past our house has been in ruins. They've been laying all kinds of cables and pipes and who knows what else in the groud for the past year, so the road has been completely demolished, all the asphalt stripped down and sand (gravel, I think it's called) has been put on top. Nothing unusual, you might say. Sure, nothing unusual, if it didn't take them over a year to do everything they needed!

Why did they need over a year to do all the works, one might wonder. Well, because of sheer lack of common sense. There were four or five companies doing the works. After one company came, dug the wholes or trenches or ditches or whatever they needed to dig, and did their work, they left, neatly covering the road back with gravel. Then, the second company came, again uncovered all the gravel, did their work and left, covering the road back. And so on. Every company did their own digging, despite the fact that they could dig one big ditch, lay their cables or pipes in there, cover the road back up and put asphalt on top! Talking about common sense, saving the money and keeping the environment clean!!

But, the day has come!!! They're putting new asphalt on as I write this!! Finally - no more dust, no more heavy machinery and no more destroying of our cars on the potholes in the road!!!
