    Narrow road and no shoulder, plus a pretty long setup for those corners. They normally don’t permit that stuff to run up there but it was going to a bridge project 5 miles farther up the road. There’s no phone service so all I can say for sure is he wasn’t texting and driving. Lol

    In the bottom left corner of the 2nd pic you can see the other lane has already been ground for paving. One would guess he was trying to keep from moving the deliniators over 6' and driving on the ground up portion??

    Chicken wire, snow fence, wood framed boxes with wire sides..... When a brick falls out, and makes its way through someone’s windshield that plastic wrap theory doesn’t hold up well.

    Looks to me that he just ran out of road.

    They milled around it after he dropped in. I thought the same thing but a coworker said it wasn’t milled when he went to Boise the other day but was milled when he came back. It’s a pretty big construction project, a bridge replacement and 28 miles of paving.

    Shrink wrap works better.

    I do quite a bit of shrink wrapping for some of the stuff I have to drag around on the deck. I put it on pretty thick and always as tight as possible. Can't count how many times I've had to re-do a shrink wrap job my co workers have done because they're lazy with it.

    You don't need a saw table and countless sqft of plywood. And shrinkwrap is quicker and lighter as well.
