Deconstruction Day

We have been waiting all summer long for this day to arrive: deconstruction has started on our street!  I really wish that my grandson Owen were here because he would have loved all of the trucks, big noisy machines, and commotion that is going on in the front yard.  I will let pictures tell the first part of the story:

The machine that grinds up the old asphalt moves with the
lead truck in a kind of elegant, coordinated dance.

They keep a steady pace, and when one truck is filled...

...another quickly takes its place.

They move down the street at a steady pace.

I cannot believe how quickly they move down the street!

The deconstruction of the road started at 6:48 this morning, and I assume that they will be done grinding up and hauling away the old asphalt by the end of the work day today.  Hopefully, we will see some new asphalt down by tomorrow.

After living on this street for 25 years, we finally will have a new road with no potholes at the end of our driveway! Yeah!
