LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – As the sun beat down with humidity rising, Doug Boshears and his crew of fellow iron men endured a heat index of more than 100 degrees while paving the parking lot at JR’s Tires on Monday. JR’s Tires reopens Tuesday morning at 8 am.

“Oh, we were able to start paving at 7am, because we did some prep work ahead of today,” said Jonathan Hembree with Boshears Paving.

The Boshears Paving crew broke for lunch for a few minutes and went right back to work. Another huge dump truck of asphalt rolled up after the lunch break.

“We’ll probably finish up around 4 pm or so, and we’ll likely be back Wednesday to stripe it,” said Boshears.

Boshears Paving finished up at about 5:30pm Monday.
