Today we are showing something a bit diffurent than usual...but recently our road was the object of an assault of large vehicles, noisy and stinky as well...we are glad and thankfur this project is done! Because it disturbed our peace...
One day we woke up to this:
Those dudes were measuring things about our road...and they were butchering all the trees and shrubs close to the road as well.Yikes!
 |
| Grrr! You are too noisy! |
 |
| Scraping... |
 |
| Scraping and brushinhg... |
 |
| Hauling off the road... |
 |
| Soon we won't have a road left... |
 |
| Dumping the road... |
 |
| And haul it away. |
Then they started stealing all the backtop and brushing off the rest of it, OMD!
 |
| I had the big job of snoopervising them all. |
 |
| The petcretary went fur a stroll and she saw this parked by the cemetery...they better not touch that. |
 |
| Phew! A few days later they came with stinky black stuff and started dumping this on our bare sad looking road. |
 |
| They used dozens of trucks like this...all of them loaded with that hot smelly black stuff. The petcretary had to stop her lawn chores and get out of their way, BOL! |
 |
| Pawppy even came by to check it out...look where he had to park his car! |
 |
| Pawppy chatting with a crew member...he is an engineer, so he had to make sure our section at least, was done properly:) |
 |
| Look at that steam! |
 |
| How are we going to get out of our driveway, that is a big bump... |
 |
| Oh, they are stomping it down... |
 |
| And smoothing it out. |
 |
| Look, Ironingboardman is at work!! |
 |
| In all these pictures the trees and grass are nice and green, but now its all brown, crunchy and oh so furry dry...parched and in dire need of rain we are... |
 |
| Now this is a real ironing board man, BOL! |
 |
| He's got ironing boards on his boots:) |
 |
| One more good look at the ironing board man at work... |
 |
| Ahhh... |
 |
| Now we can sleep... |
 |
| Peacefully, again. |
We might as well nap anyways, it is supposed to rain...and you know, we will be happy if it does, at least we know our peeps will:)
Have a great week!!
wow that looks noisy,love your selfie,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteThanks! It sure was noisy...its nice and quiet now:)
DeleteMr M here: Big, noisy and smelly is NOT fun....
ReplyDelete=^.^=
Hi there! We are happy its all done....but the peeps said it was badly needed...sure, whatevfur!
DeleteWow! mes remembers when they did that in front of our house in Midway! Stinky!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd mes can't wait to sees yous guys this week!
Round up the troops in Battle Creek for the Smoke and Joe Campaign!!!
Kisses
Nellie
The potholes here were like little bathtubs...and the road looked like a falling apart patchwork quilt...not anymore:)
DeleteWe are going to have fun with the S & J Campaign...Battle Creek won't be the same after they come here, MOL!
We got our road dug up too - and part of our yard!
ReplyDeleteAt least they left our yard alone...and they did not cut into our newish concrete driveway...they did cut a lot of other ones though....sigh...they would have had to deal with a lot of steel rebars and mesh under that concrete...think broken saws...our pawppy being an engineer treated our driveway like a road project when it was put in, tee-hee! And then that dog walked ovfur it when it wasn't dry yet, remember that?? OMC!
DeleteThose first shots are a different kind of CAT selfie- MOL! Road work is awful, it is noisy and smelly and holds up traffic. Glad you can rest now- you all look cute and comfy.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes!! We had kind of furgotten about mentioning that, thanks!! You are furry observant...better than the petcretary who was putting this together after midnight last night after a busy evening shift...
DeleteWe are so glad its done,and the road is smooth once again...the vehicles when driving ovfur it befur, were making a lot of noise going ovfur all the bumps and potholes, but now its nice and quiet out there, except when a motorcycle zooms by.
That was a lot of work going on. I am glad you have got your peace and quiet back. Those are lovely selfies.
ReplyDeleteIt took them about two weeks after the 'prep of cutting trees and making driveways ready to accept asphalt.
DeleteNow all they need to do is put down the lane markings. We are glad its all done too, it sure looks better than our old road!
Wow that was a lot of commotion!!! But in the end you got a brand new road out of it! But I am glad to know the solitude came back to your house!
ReplyDeleteWe do love our peace and quiet! Now we can hear the burdies again...MOL!
DeleteThose... introders are so annoying, Pipo, Minko and Mr JF. I thought they were coming from Mars...MOL :D Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday :) <3
ReplyDeleteAt least they did not have to come into our den:)
DeleteWow wow wow! It's Ironing Board Man! And all his friends! Hooray! They repaved our street about three or four years ago. It's fun to watch them work, even if it is a lot of noise and mess and stinky too! (Ghostwriter says it's our tax dollars at work!) Thank you so much for all the great pictures! We'll be sure to share them with our favorite miniature human, Ryan, who loves trucks! Wooooohooooo!
ReplyDeleteWe thought you would enjoy this post. We just knew that your mini-peep, Ryan would love it!
DeleteLater ovfur the holiday we will hear the Thunderbirds...and other airborne things...maybe we will make a post about those, dedicated to Ryan of course:)
The workers laughed when the petcretary told them our name for the pavement roller...Ironing Board Man! BOL!
DeleteWow that sure was sum purroject thee men undertooked Mistur Jack an Pipo an Minko!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did a grate job snoopervizin Mistur Jack!!

Miles and miles of rebuilt roads in our township this summer...its about time, peeps were talking about the potholes swallowing their cars...
DeleteMJF: Snoopervising is one of my spawsialties:)
Excellent snoopervising skills.
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteWe hate noisy roadworks and the cutting down of trees :(
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
We have no idea why they needed to cut down so many trees, it was horrid. Huge old oaks and others suffered the same fate. Hisses and Grrr.
DeleteWe wish they would plant some new ones to replace the others...

You did a PAWESOME job of snoopervising!!! Oh I hate the smell of that black stuff and the NOISE!! OMD OMD OMD! I would have lost my mind!! My Mom said she bets they just LOVED your "petretary" or whatever it was lol, taking photos! She probably made them nervous! Barks and licks and love, Dakota DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteI am a tough snoopervisor!
DeleteThat stuff still smells a bit even though its been done fur quite a while already...(the petcretary just didn't have the time to sort through all the pictures and make a good post...)
I stopped barking like a crazed pup after a few days...but I paid them lots of snoopervisory rounds:)
Maybe they did get nervous after pawppy came and talked with them...cause he is a civil engineer and that is his line of work...OMD!
Yuk, that does look like hot and loud work. And smelly, too! At least it's all done now. I'm sure your supervision helped!
ReplyDeleteJean from Welcome to the Menagerie
Thanks so much fur visiting us:)
DeleteThe vehicles driving ovfur our road are a lot quieter now that the road is so mice and smooth:)
Wow, all your snoopervising has exhausted us.
ReplyDeleteWe napped a lot when they were done each night...
DeleteOh MeOW dat's a lot of noise and workin' goin' on. Ya'll look handsum as ever.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'
Dezi and Raena
It sure was, but it was needed and we are happy its all done:)
DeleteAnd thanks, too!!
WOW that was some big job! Mew certainly did a grand job of supervising it all *impressed ears*!!!!

Yes it was a big project.
DeleteMJF had the biggest fun with snoopervising since he can go outside.
We have had that happen once and the noise was scary. But once the Ironing Man was done, it was a whole new street! That was great...
ReplyDeleteYes, we like the end result too!
DeleteMr Jack Freckles what a wonderful blow by blow narrative of the road work. Don't you just hate when those pieces get up in your tire wells and clatter. Or driving on the rough road before they lay new asphalt. And the stink! Why smelling another dogs butt is better than smelling asphalt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
We were getting so fed up with all the potholes and the patchworkquilt of all the patches...which kept breaking up and being far worse the second or third time around. UGH!
DeleteThe rough unpaved road was certainly a bumpy noisy ride even inside a nice van:)
Now its wonderfur and smooth! And yes, MJF would much rather sniff a butt of a pup or a kitty...OMD!
