I always find it interesting and educational to watch a process like this. It looks like it was a fairly efficient operation and I do hope they got the drain right for you.

I am sure it was fun to watch, but not so much fun to smell. Nothing beats those freshly paved, smooth roads though!
Good that they seem to know what they were doing. Can you imagine doing that hot and dirty work in summer heat? It must be awful!
Exercise in heat? ATCHOO!
It looks like a Lego scene ! I love your neighbourhood, it looks so quiet; well, when those men aren't around, obviously ! XX
I do hope it last 25 years. I would have stayed indoors too, not because of the exercise but because I hate the smell!! But it will be worth it for sure.
Let's hope the snow plows don't ruin the smooth finish!

It certainly looks like a nice area to live. Lets hop they have the drainage sorted out.
It has to be done- but when it's first going down, the smell would drive me away!
Hope it wasn't too smelly!! Our condo complex has just started the scraping up of the old asphalt in preparation for the new to be applied hopefully next week. I'll be glad when it's all done!
If it works the way it does around here, they will have to tear into the pavement for some reason. I kid you not, our street was so rough, for so long. They repaved it a few years ago, and within a year, had done had to tear into it two or three places within a mile.
Then they paved the next street over, and the same thing happened...but it didn't seem to leave the street with such rough patches.
Anyway, I would have been just like you and stayed home.
'Work fascinates me! I love to watch it.' So the saying goes. I would have done exactly the same as you did. Looks like a very nice street where you are living now Gill.
The smell must have been terrible! Glad you finally have a topcoat on your street. The end of our street had new houses put in 5 years ago and they still are waiting for the topcoat of asphalt!
hope it last 25 years but nothing is as good as they say it is
I used to love watching the crews lay asphalt, thanks for the memories.
God bless.
