Our street is slowly morphing. At the moment it is impassible, with a good mountain of sand outside our front door. The concrete machine has done one pour down the smelly end of the street (the 'river views' of the black sewer-come-canal are also morphing with concrete slabs being placed over the top) and a large team of road workers continue to lay out the rocky foundation down the other end.
Our local roading crew
In a nation where labour is so cheap, young guys carry baskets of the large stones, tip them onto the dirt and then squat and place them by hand - all the way down the road being prepared for concreting. A half-dozen passes by a roller; then sand and smaller stones are poured on top before concrete is poured. We greatly look forward to the promise of less dust over everything in our house soon!
