Do you wonder why everything looks so neat and tidy in Finland?
Last week I was quite enlightened when I watch how a team of men equiped with some simple and high tech erquipment did some tidying up in our small community area.
A lot of the road had been dug up last year and this as they changed the electric supply from overhead lines to underground supply. Most of the real work was done with great efficiency last year, but it left the fronts of most of the houses in quite a state. However, with the snow and ice which covers the ground all through 5 months, this was not very evident.
Come summer and we had this team come in and tidy things up - it took just a couple of hours, but the preliminary work was slow and painstaking so that the actual work could be done quickly.
There was a backup truck and the master truck containing the hot bitumen mix. 
This was poured into the high tech spreader. 
Aided by a couple of men who did the corners by hand filling, this machine laid a perfect topping. This was followed by 2 mini bulldozers who levelled the already level surface, compacting the surfacing. 
A couple of men tidied the entire job by hand.
The frontage at Kampitie 6 B took about 5 minutes, and the whole community area of Kampitie took about an hour.
This was an excellent example of men, machines and technology working in unison!
