There was a bit of commotion outside our house this morning while I was reading my email. So I had to emerge from my cave to investigate.
 |
| An Evolution work crew arrived |
We had seen these strange markings on the road for a few days and were wondering what's going on. It looked like a section of the road needed replacing. Well that's what they came to do.
Soon a huge machine turned up and started to rip up the old road surface, dumping it into trucks. It took three truckloads.

| The road started to look like a bomb site |
Not long after a road surface machine arrived and more trucks with new hot asphalt

Then the rain came down, which made for a steamy work site, but the crew carried on regardless. Luckily, the rain didn't last long.
 |
| Where is everybody? |
Finally a couple of road rollers came along to finish the new road surface.

The whole lot only took a couple of hours.
Ok, back into my cave.
