Road Repairs
« on: 17 August 2006, 22:18:17 »

Theres going to be fun and games in our road tomorrow. They're doing one of those really cheap and nasty repairs where one truck comes along and sprays tar, then another with gravel and finally a road roller to hopefully make it stick.
They did one not far away last year and there were loose chippings for about a month. Everyones car was chipped and covered in tiny spots of tar.
The air will be blue(I hope)

I bloody hate it when they do that cheap half-ass method.

My facelift bumper has millions of little chips on it, when they did the same method above on my main road to work.

Avoiding that road meant a big de-tour  >:(
