The road to our house is stilling being worked on - has been since July. The difficulty now is that 2 of the 3 ways to access our area are completely closed off. And the last way is partially blocked. We really do anticipate that at some point we will not be able to get the car in or out of the driveway. But the worst part is that the water truck is coming tomorrow to fill our tanks and I think they are going to have more than a little trouble trying to get to the house. It should be interesting. I will take some pictures of the road to give you a better perspective.
Update for today (Thurs.) - the truck did come and somehow plowed its way down the road in spite of the workers, boards with nails, huge piles of gravel and sand and a big ditch on one side. I am so thankful they made it and we now have full water tanks. PTL. They had new hoses that were really long so they didn't even have to come into the driveway. Again I say PTL.
I will say that b/c the sun has been out baking us, the guys have been able to work on the road several days in a row. Can you imagine digging out a drainage ditch that is about 3 feet wide and 4-5 ft. deep for the length of a road about 5 blocks long? And in this heat? And by hand - just with shovels? They don't have a backhoe or anything. Anyway, they are working hard and there are several of them so I am praying that they will get the worst of it completed soon.
