We're expanding our garage 24' by 24'. It's going to be a 2 car addition plus a bunch of storage and a better workbench area. Concrete contractor called last night with an opening so is trying to get the footings & foundation in this week. So right now my front/ side yard is a zoo of trucks, a skid steer, and a baby excavator. Just had the new infant this morning. Pre-k kids got off the bus and were stunned. I'll tell you those concrete guys fly. All the digging is done, forms for footings laid, rebar placed, and waiting on the cement truck. Have to warn all the DCPs they need to park on the street. Really cant see anything from the classroom. That hasn't stopped DCKs from being glued to the window.
Something new for them to see. Maybe one or 2 of them will decide to go into that business.

That's awesome!! Any time we have any kind of construction happening around here it is instant entertainment!
My DH owns a skid steer and I've often thought of having him come into daycare with it and just drive it around the yard all day so the DCK's can watch!

My kids would LOVE this. Anytime the driveway gets plowed, the neighbors are having work done, or the road is being worked on we set up a viewing gallery at the front window.

They got the garage slab poured today and the new driveway part laid out/ graded. Tomorrow morning the set up edge boards and rebar. Depends on the temp if they can pout it tomorrow or not. If not probably be the middle of next week. This part DCKs can see from the classroom.

Are you going to let them personalize the slab?

So much fun! We had our old driveway torn out last year and a new one put in. Nice big window for the kids to watch it all happen from-they were glued to that window for as long as I allowed them to stay!
Enjoy your new space when it's finished!

A few years ago at my old center, they were repaving the road in front of the daycare. It was the greatest thing that could have happened for the kids. We even made a field trip out of going to the side of the road to get some asphalt so they could see what the road is made of.
