as my housemate was leaving the driveway on Sunday, the plows came down the street so he wasn’t able to leave…

he was quick to get a shovel to start shovelling through the windrow… he headed to the sidewalk and they saw him and did a bit of extra snow moving so he didn’t have nearly as much as imagined…

the plow drivers were amazing in how they move the snow… by the time they were done, there was just a small windrow to be moved before he could leave…

so happy he was here because you have to move it immediately before it turns to concrete and then I would have gone out to move it;-(…

after he left they came down the other side of the street… the first plow moved the snow up over the curb and the second one went exactly along the edge of the curb to clear it up…

they have great control over their equipment…

shovels…

this morning there was lots of activity in the lane…

many tools were used… the sledgehammer, two types of shovels, a broom and pails…

a lot of broken concrete, rocks, stones, and soil were gathered, piled into the back of a truck and then taken to the landfill…

but, it is much tidier and with a bit more work done to it, will be much more useful for placing yard waste;-)…

all that activity brought out a few neighbours as well, lol…
