Snap, Crackle, Pop

That used to be our nickname for Jersey since her joints crack often, but it now has a new meaning.
The rocks on our lot are blue granite, one of the hardest rocks. To get through it, they drill these holes and fill them with chemicals. When the chemicals get hot, they expand and crack the rock. (Thank goodness we live where we do... it gets HOT!) We even heard the popping of the rock. So crazy!
