Big Digger

We have a new stop on our walk home, a small construction site near Lucinda's and Arno's schools where a digger and a concrete crusher are tearing away the foundation of an old building.



The kids are fascinated to see these machines up close.



Progress seems slow, perhaps because the concrete is laced with rebar. One machine pounds into the concrete, then welders move in to slice the rebar, and the digger strains out the biggest rocks.
