May. 1, 2008 - construction pics

here are some p ics i promised to post:

this is the really cool machine that looks like a brontasaurus-it ate up the road and spit it back out into the back of a dump truck:

here is teh backhoe-or what i like to call the tyranasaurus rex (sorry for bad spelling).

that is it for now.  the big holes worry me, but they are usually filled in at the end of a day...which is really nice.   I have had nightmares about our kids getting out of the house and falling into them..These pictures aer taken either out my upstairs bedroom window or on my front porc h.  See how close they aer???  Also-my house sits at an angle to the road-there is a point where they have dug within one foot of the corner of my house!  Someone said they will take away the frontage yard-the part between the sidewalk and the road- which leaves me with VERY little yard at all!  The proximity of traffic will be VERY unnerving indeed!
