A new sidewalk

For this year's Parsonage Improvement Project - they decided to extend the existing sidewalk over from the church to the parsonage sidewalk.
...there's a sort of a little ditch that runs from the parking lot under the fence and through the yard - and in the springtime when all the snow is melting we can't walk to the church - it's only about 100 feet or so and it seems so ridiculous to drive...
...so they piled up some dirt...
...and set to work...
...I love that they bring their dog to work with them (Jack did not love this quite so much)...
...Day 1 - notice the pipes under the sidewalk that will hopefully carry the spring run-off...
...Day 2 - the cement mixer arrives...
...so then they pour all the cement in the truck and it's nearly 5:00 PM and guess what...

...that's right they ran out of cement with only about a foot to go - I hope they come back soon to finish the sidewalk...
