mobile overpass bridges are used to carry out road work without stopping traffic
I've got a project like that going on in the front of my house since Monday, but it has to do with replacing the waterlines (probably lead goosenecks) underground from the main to the shutoff valves in the front yards. Total clusterfuck.
I've got so many guys in construction gear standing around doing nothing that the DNC fags will probably come here from Chicago to pick up dates.
This couldn't possibly be less efficient if they tried.
My neighbor's probably not too happy with them. He work nights. He probably hasn't had any sleep since Sunday morning.
That was a good call. He thinks it's a CIA plot to kill him through sleep deprivation.
I found out that they're replacing the lead goosenecks from the water main to the shutoff boxes in the front yards, like I thought. The goosenecks look like a P-trap on their side to allow a little flex from any ground movement so it doesn't shear off from the main.
It looks like they're using PEX. They're also replacing any lead pipes from the shutoff to the house if they find any. This neighborhood dates back to the early 1900s as workman's cottages for the former International Harvester factory about 5 blocks southeast of me.
Harvester was in the process of shutting down when I was building my house in the late 1970s. My father worked at the Magnavox (now Raytheon, also closed) plant just north of IH in Electronic Warfare after his service in WWII until he died in 1976. Hush-hush Cold War shit.
The Victoria clay here swells and shrinks depending on the moisture content. After a two- or three-year drought a light steady rain over a week the whole eight-inch mains start shearing. If one is lucky, it won't break under one's driveway.
