This may be Ace's last act at Great Pines, at least he thinks it's his last act.

The Kren's house was completed in late 2002 and three and a half years later the finishing touches are being done to the neighborhood. I suppose building twenty-one houses and doing all the landscaping for them in that time is not bad, just seems like a long time.

The paving was originally scheduled for May 18-19 but rain was expected so it was postponed. Of course, it didn't rain then but it did on the day they wanted to. Finally they were able to get it done on June 5. It wasn't easy. The asphalt plant had a problem and shut down three truck-loads short. So they took a break and ordered some from another plant. It arrived after not much of a delay (an hour or so) and they finished the job. Now, with a wider entrance, we don't have to worry (as much) about a truck barreling into us as we enter GP. The following are some pictures of the activity.

This is the best the cul-de-sac has looked yet.
Won't have to dodge the man-hole cover now.
The driveway at the Myers house is done. They've run out of blacktop so the operation is stalled for awhile.
Now that more blacktop has arrived the paving continues. Quite an operation between truck and paver.

Closing in on the end.
Now it's time to pack it down.

The wider entrance will be appreciated.
