I drive by a site every day that’s being graded for something. They have created a level pad of about 1 acre. They started with a lot that had no more than 4′ of slope. In order to do this they have 2 belly scrapers, a large dozer, an excavator, and a motor grader. All this equipment has been on the site for several weeks. This seems excessive to me. A major road project is going on not to far away. They have several excavators and back hoes, one motor grader and one dozer, plus some miscelaneous stuff. No belly scrapers.The project must be 100 times bigger than the one acre lot. I’m trying to make sense out of all this. I’m wondering what they could be building that requires this amount of gradiing.

If I told you I'd have to shoot you.
have you thought about pulling over and asking ?
Saw a lot of excess grading on high school essays. After a certain point, all that red stops being constructive and just becomes mean.
excess grading
He's afraid that he will be shot.
