In case you missed it, the work on the road finally started a week after we were told it was going to, on November 16th, 2006. Much to everyone's surprise, a crew with a digger turned up and dug up the only road into the sub-division. I found out about it when I came home early int he afternoon. No big deal for me as I can park in the next road and walk a hundred yards to my house but anyone who wasn't out was mightily out of luck. (To be fair, Moores had left a message on my answering machine an hour or so before they started).
The only family in the neighborhood (let's call them the Glumms) who have a drive that can be used to get out of the subdivision refused to let anyone use it which was bloody nice of them.
It's now May 1st and our road has finally been done. It looks pretty good, too except for a couple of problems. First among these is that anyone doing a 3 point turn in the road removes a 6" square chunk of the road surface with their tires. It appears that the road hasn't hardened after more than a week. The mailman drove over the asphalt curb at the top of my drive yesterday and left a perfect imprint of his tires in it.
Much to everyone's amazement, the drains that were installed above the previous road level are still above road level so that, when it rained over the weekend, not a drop found its way into the drains. I'm waiting to hear back from Moores yet again.
