Hi All,
Last year Don Pigeon stopped by one day and asked me if he could dig up some of my lawn. The problem, since 1968 when I build my house, winter road sand has been plowed with the snow up on the edge of my lawn raising it close to a foot and a half. Hard to believe, that much would accumulate over the last 39 years. This prevented the water from running off the road and caused the blacktop on the edge to continually break up. The guys came up yesterday and did that along with some other ditching down past the Tracy Road. The guys did a great job as usual leaving me no mess to clean up. Hopefully this will save the town some patching several times a year and me picking up pieces of blacktop off my lawn before I mow. One of the things that I will have to try to remember to bring up at our Fairfax Historical Society Meeting Sunday is the Old Mud Season Days. Our Road Crew appears to be doing such a good job, that I'm not sure we are even having a mud vacation in the spring any more.
Don & Pat Pigeon start removing about a foot and a half of sand accumulation over the past 39 years that will now allow water to run off the blacktop
