This morning we walked over to the office to discover that the town road crew had  chopped off the end of the driveway, now about 18 inches above the level of the road.

Our backhoe operator said that we needed to put in concrete culverts. Now, the entrance is at the top of a hill, which is why when we made it, we didn’t put in culverts in the first place.

Why do we need culverts? Not so that water can pass under, but so that the town will not destroy the entrance again during any future road work–they will have to work around it like they did in front of our house, where there are much-needed culverts.

After we put in these “dry” culverts and covered them up, the road crew used their big grader and roller to smooth the entrance and pack it down. That was nice.
