Popular Post Jack Peterson Posted October 20, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) I have put this here because I feel it is an Area that sometimes gets overlooked especially if you want to build in the provinces and the Roads are as mine still earth ( and there are many) When we bought the Lot ( I say we because it is an us thing as in we are Married and share what we have) the Road was quiet, now for a Reason I posted some time ago it has got busy and gets Waterlogged and can be dangerous, the Out Road is now open again so we decided that as it is quiet again we will Repair Anyway Some may remember that some 6+ months ago I applied to Concrete some 60 meters of barangay road as it was getting Muddy and dangerous, I live on a Junction and a hazard to get in and out of our gates. the Application was turned down because the City Council had not made the necessary exact markings of the said Road and there were things to be done, canal dug, Electric Poles to move etc, So we applied again and this time they said No budget We had the Poles Moved at our Expense and Have dug the canal where the Problem was. We asked that we repair the Road. OK go for it was the Captains answer. As Friday (Yesterday) was a holiday here in We went to the Buglasan festival and had a night out before we embarked on Fridays project. They say Pictures speak louder than Words so I will let the Pictures tell the Story. Thank you for Reading and a Reminder to check the Roads in all weathers if you want to buy in the Province where the Barangay Council can be a little slow in the Job they were Elected for Project Completed all safe and Sound ( For Now) Many Thanks from the Captain and neighbours and a job well done by the Lads that worked Hard ( and Fed and Paid well Hope the Weekend is going well for you all Jack and Her indoors Edited October 20, 2018 by Jack Peterson added a little 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 9 cubic of hard core on the bottom and 9 cubic crushed aggregate and ballast top coat to harden and make a good finish for vehicles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately this is one of the things I tend not to suffer with, as time goes by you may find that once they have come to know you better they will be more willing. I paid workers of course for the project but ended up with 3 more and these were Locals that use the area and I guess realised that it was indeed for them as much as use, We invited the unpaids to snax but they refused Lunch as they were just helping you to do their Bit. As I said in time, you will find more Locals taking Part especially if there is something in it for them ( and if not then you got some gooduns. As an Afterthought Mate, does the Barangay pop up and thank you? Mine does and it goes well with me even though we do what they should be doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
