Construction crews have been tearing up our neighborhood replacing water pipes for the past 2 months. Now they've made it to our block. I'm glad I was awake already, because at 7:01 AM this thing started busting up our sidewalk. Sounded like a woodpecker on steroids, and it made the house shake.
When I left at 7:30 I was greeted by two backhoes digging a 6 foot hole across the street. Had I left later they would have most definantly blocked me in.
I was actually happy to go to work today (first time for everything) So I would not have to deal w/ all the banging and water being turned off. When I came home that evening I found they removed three slabs of concrete and filled it in somewhat nicely with dirt. The pipes are full of air and spattering and the water is brown.. yay.... Why am I writing about this? Well, not much else has been happening, so there you go.
