My street gets a new skin...

The subdivision and the street where I live in Park City go back to the early 80's and with this, the pavement that was getting old, light gray and riddled with cracks.

Thank God, there's hardly any traffic on that street which explains the extreme durability of its pavement!

On Thursday, some 35 days later, it received a new coat of what's called “Slurry Seal”, a bituminous, water-based mixture used to fill cracks and voids, seal and waterproof the surface while providing color and skid-free texture in one single pass.

Of course, it's also quite cost-effective; the operation lasted less than one hour, was dry in less than four and now our street looks brand new.

A good reason, it seems, for buying a new car. My wife doesn't think so...
