You should see the roads in the town where the mine is that I worked at, you'd swear they were open pit mining the streets...lol and they never seem to fix them

I have some things I've been putting off on the house I want to get done this summer and once they are done we might just buy the new ones in the fall...

The City has been filling potholes this and last week but when the plows clean the white crap from the streets the asphalt will be ripped out of the hole.

The City bought 2 hot boxes this year so they're trying to do it right.

My street you have to drive around some of the manhole covers, some are higher than the road surface from the frost heaving them and some are sunk in...The town fixed the pot holes by removing the asphalt and leaving gravel, was like that for years but they actually paved a couple streets last year . Likely pave ours in about 20 years from now if they do it at all
