And if it is a contractor doing the work, if the bid didn't specify water... there won't be any water, other than what it would take to protect the cutting wheel.
I worked late one night this past summer and didn't get home until about 9pm...turn up the big hill to my neighborhood and find some huge, wide vehicle coming down.
This road doesn't even have a dirt shoulder to speak of, so I slowed way down and moved over practically onto somebody's lawn...only to have some foul mouthed yahoo yell at me as I went by about driving on the paint.
No signs or workers to warn by about what the heck these morons were doing...I had white paint all over my right tires when I got home, luckily nothing on the car itself.
My tax dollars at work! I guess their bid didn't include anything about signage to warn drivers or maybe they just blew it off because it was a back street....I tried to call the town to complain about the crew the next day and maybe figure out who they were, but got a runaround and finally just gave up.
The crew also got off track and painted over crumbled pavement and dirt in a few spots, great job dudes!
I would have loved for that filthy mouthed munchkin to talk to me like that with just the two of us around, man to man...
