I heard the concrete truck backing up to deliver the concrete for the city crew to build the curb. I felt it was necessary to go supervise. So I walked up just as the pour was about to began. It was obvious that crew was not on their first day. One guy was pointing the trough and waving to the driver with hand signals. He had the truck moving forward just a bit and then back up as the crew was moving the concrete around.
One of the crew handed me a scree on a pole and I just leaned on it like a supervisor. They all laughed and said he has the supervisor job figured out. I handed back the scree and they were shaping the concrete into a curb by hand. A different crew came buy a few days ago and put in a form for the back side where the grass is. That will get pulled out of course once it is set up. Then the next crew will come and pour new road bed.
It would be interesting and likely maddening to learn exactly what the entire process has cost the city. Many thousands of dollars.
