The road is being repaved on one of the streets that goes by my house. The truck which grinds up the old pavement makes the whole house vibrate strongly. Makes me worry a bit that it'll make something break. I'm glad I didn't choose to work from home today. I'll be leaving for work after my morning Skype call in a few minutes.
On Friday, when I was working from home, they must have already been working on the other end of the road. I could hear the rumbling (and had to put on my noise cancelling headphones a few times; I was pleasantly surprisingly that they worked even against that bone-shaking low frequency noise). I occasionally saw a few trucks, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
Qiao stopped by my house on Friday. He didn't see what was going on either, but someone told him an 18 wheeler had overturned. Later at night when I drove down the street, I didn't see any sign of that, nor of any repaving in process. But the road was full of gravel and some big work equipment/trucks were parked in an empty lot.
About 2 years ago they had put up some orange roadwork signs on both ends of the road, but never did any work. I think one of the signs eventually got knocked down, and the others were taken down. I wonder if an 18 wheeler hit a pothole which made it overturn, and if they decided that because of that, it's now time to fix the street.
