The neighbor had someone working on her front walk and her side of the shared driveway the other day. One of the tenants mentioned it Monday when we saw each other outside while fetching the trash bins. I said I wished I’d known the work was happening because I might have liked my side of the driveway done also. The tenant said she’d mention it the next time she saw the guy working on the big hole he cut into the front walk.
Today, when I got home from working downtown, the neighbor’s car was in front of my house along the fence and a truck with a trailer were in the street blocking the driveway. I parked behind the neighbor’s car and started walking towards the driveway and my usual entrance at the back corner of the house. That’s when I saw a guy painting sealing stuff along the edge of my lawn, and another guy at the far end of the driveway spreading sealant across the full width of the shared space.
It's too bad the 8 foot by 16 foot moving box is occupying my other parking spot or I could have had that one sealed, too. And when I wrote the guy a check, did I think to ask for his number? No, I did not.
In other asphalt news, the notice left at the house about street paving from Monday the 9th until Wednesday the 11th seems to have been wishful thinking on the timeline or a big miscommunication. There has not been a sign of a paving truck or a whisper of the project starting. The notice last week included a URL for information, but that just led to a not very helpful webpage that seemed to be the first step in a lengthy treasure hunt for information. I like a good mystery, but I abandoned this one after too many frustrating clicks that failed to deliver the promised information. It would be nice to know, though. I may need to resume the search.
