They'll be back soon to dig some of it back up. You can count on it.

I bet you wrote your initials in the soft surface beside a valentines heart and the date like. Grauman's Chinese Madison.

Nothing on the tenure bill in the Wisc legislature? THAT will get HRC your vote.

Glad to see that in the Midwest they still know how to pave around a manhole cover.

What Original Mike said (which also made me laugh!)

Don't get cocky. It's a trap.

Tomorrow Madison will get a notice that the new street violates EPA drainage guidelines and has to be torn up and redone. Oh, and they'll be claiming your front lawn under eminent domain for clearance and drainage...

That's quite a shadow where the driveway meets the curb.

"That's quite a shadow where the driveway meets the curb."

It's not a shadow, it's the form-dividers they put in.

It is a double-thickness of 1/2 inch expansion joint material for some reason. Probably 3/4 inch was called for.

Will the curbs comply with the forthcoming "John Kerry Curb Freedom Act"?

CWJ said...

Thanks. I didn't see that until I enlarged the photo. It was rather small on my tablet.

A new street!

Wow. We don't get those in Beaufort, S.C.

Lots of freezing and thawing here in the Midwest. You need expansion joints to handle that so your sidewalk, driveway apron don't heave after the winter.
