Men At Work

The condominium association in which Larry and I live has been engaged in the largest project we've ever undertaken: the complete rebuilding of the long drive that leads into our neighborhood and the driveways leading to each of our garages.  Our Board of Directors and Environmental Committee are willing to take on nearly any task, but rebuilding a road was a little out of our league.  With the invaluable assistance and counsel of professionals who have supervised the reconstruction of city streets and county highways for many years, we were able to prepare for the project and secure the necessary contractors.  For the past several weeks, we have watched men at work every weekday, digging out the old drive, digging deeper to install drainage pipe and adequate gravel base, applying the final gravel surface and then the asphalt.  They've meticulously created a city street-quality drive that will enhance the look of our neighborhood and provide a safe, smooth entry.  I always enjoy watching professionals who do their jobs well.  Watching these men at work has been one of those enjoyable moments with a finished product with which we can all be happy.
