Next, we skip to the end of June, 2014. This was really cool to watch.
I was still living in Waukesha (WALK-uh-shaw), Wisconsin, and presented a purely documentary project, all shot on the same day, of the installation of a new concrete road in front of my former house (which has shot up in value greatly since I owned it, sad face emoji). If you follow along and look carefully at the pictures, you'll get a good sense of how they did it.
This might also be a kind and gentle rebuke to those who say I never publish my own work on TOP—as I said the other day, there's actually quite a lot of it. I just don't make a big deal of it, and I don't try to glorify myself. I suppose I could, and I don't see anything wrong with doing so, for those who want to, but...well, I gave my reasoning the other day so I won't repeat myself.
The post is called "Roadbuilding! (And the Cameras I Used)."
I'll be back in person with a new post tomorrow, Tuesday. Hope you enjoyed this little detour into 2014.
Mike

Was that a brand-new road they were building where before there was no road at all? Or were they ripping up an old road and replacing it with new concrete?
How common are concrete roads? In my neck o' the woods--currently the Delaware Valley northwest of Philadelphia--roads are generally made of asphalt. Not concrete.
[It was an existing road being resurfaced. As I explore on Street View, several other roads immediately adjacent are now concrete, but most in the wider area are asphalt. I'd like to know the story of how that little enclave happened to receive concrete roads.
By the way, Windsor Drive looks to be in very good condition still today. --Mike]
