Don't you just love how the uninformed general public likes to bitch about your work. We did a last minute, low budget job for the city here in the fall. Pulverized the existing road surface, about a mile and a half. Shaped up the pulverized material, compacted, and added 2 inches of inch and a quarter minus crushed material. The road was then left for about a month. This is not a highway, but still a heavy traffic 80km road. So you know what happens to the 2 inches of crushed on top of a hard packed surface. At this point, the province gives the road a quick grade, no way to cut out potholes without losing the crush, so lick and a promise, then they chipseal. As predicted, the road is all gone to hell, and who do they blame, not government, or the city, but the company that did the job the way it was told. Maybe I should get a grader job at a mine
