    Street Project finds from this week

    Hello All,

    Been out quite a bit this summer, but just have not had the time to make many posts. I continue to hit the sidewalk and street tearouts, and this week was a pretty good one. These are the good finds from about 5 hours worth of hunting this week.

    Great set of finds. Quick question. Do you just drive around to find the street/sidewalk tearouts (i.e. randomness) or is there a method to the madness? Congrats again.

    Thank you! I drive through the city to/from work so I go different routes all of the time so I see some that way. Mostly I look them up online and I also have gotten to know the guys who work for the contractors that do the work over the years. They also keep me in the know on which projects are getting done, when and where.
