Earthshaking, literally

They have been working on resurfacing our street for the past week, and they finally laid the new road the other day. From the dump truck pouring asphalt into a big paver, with workmen shoveling the stuff that fell out back into it, to the rollers that followed, it was quite the production. I was fascinated and standing on our wrought iron stairs, but the metal was vibrating so much, I had to go back inside. I went down into the basement, and it felt like the equipment was shaking the foundation of our house. Good thing they don’t have to do this very often!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

You would think they'd have smaller units for the side streets. Oh' well, it's repaired now. Good photo of the work crew and the inspector. BV

This is such an interesting image!
The over the shoulder look is very cool!

Great to see this picture, Helen, they are doing the same right now in my street and sometimes it feels like an light earthquake, but the company took pictures of the whole building in case of collateral damage! V

Cool shot of the workers and that is some serious machinery. Hope you enjoy your new street and a return to quieter days!

Looks like a very pretty street. Hopefully the resurfacing is complete.

It is the season for construction. Nice capture of their operation. Hopefully the earth shaking has stopped. V

Excellent shot! You have certainly caught the eye of this young worker. It is truly an earthshaking event when they do this work. Soon to be over, I hope. V

They have to be very careful manoeuvring all that heavy equipment around.
