Housing Development

Early this morning (Sunday) we took a ride out to one of my family members house who happens to live in a brand new housing development which is still under construction. To this date 700 homes have been built and 500 more are on the way, 5 more years of construction! The site is in a reclaimed quarry/sand pit and some of the machines from the quarry are still there. One of my favorite machines there would be the scrapers, being it is mostly rock where I live, its not everyday I see these machines.

Driving out there it is mostly farmland

Entering the construction zone
Here is a Komatsu D65E-8, one of the old machines from the quarry

And the rest of the machines









There were many other machines there such as a Cat 345BL, Komatsu HM300, PC400 excavator and some other dozers but were to far of a walk.

Enjoy!
