Yesterday we noticed that they were clearing our street somewhat, and today they had removed the top layer of asphalt. This is our view out the front door:
Most of the real work has been on the next street over. They started by removing that street surface and I've seen then digging in the middle of the street when going to work in the mornings. They've usually been done with the digging by the time I get home, to leave no holes overnight for safety reasons, I imagine. So with them starting to remove the surface of our road today I would guess they'll be starting on the sewer work under the middle of the street here soon.
We don't know when we won't have driveway access so have been stocking up on groceries and paper goods recently. We also ordered another split half of beef and I really hope we have driveway access when that's ready. I imagine we'll mostly not have driveway access when they are working on the terraces, curbs and driveway aprons toward the end but before putting down the last layer of the new street surface, but that's just me surmising. I do hope we get some kind of notice, though.
Here's a look up the street, below. I didn't venture far for pictures today but this gives you an idea of what I see.
I'll try to get better about updates, but much of the work for the day is getting done by the time I get home, and most of the actual changes so far are underground.
Sunflower drama after the break:
