A couple of weeks ago, I took the kids out to the same construction site we visited earlier. And is there ever a big hole now! I bet it's 20 ft (6 meters) deep, and a couple hundred feet long (60-70 meters). We parked nearby, and the kids, and I, got to look through a chain link fence at all the action going on. We visited on a Friday, I think, so everyone was in full swing. The kids were all excited to see all the coordinated action, as bottom dump trucks brought in gravel, then a water truck sprayed it down, then a grader smoothed it out, followed by a compactor. Then it all happened again. And David was sure to tell me about each truck that came down the road, each and every time.
