We've been here over a year and a half. We haven't figured out what's up with road construction. Projects seem to take forever - especially the sewer line project that involves our block. Over the last year and a half trenches have been dug, filled up, redug, paved, torn up again, and repaved. The city gives us nicely printed notices periodically letting us know what's going on and what's going to be blocked when and for how long. The workers have always been very polite and cleaned up in amazing ways the end of every work day. They carried groceries for people who had to park across the street because their driveways were blocked. Last Friday the filled-in trenches were nicely repaved, edges sealed and it looked like they were finally finished.
I joked to Joe that someone would be here Monday to punch a hole in the street.
Monday morning - I said to Joe, "Do I hear jackhammers?"
Sure enough - two men were punching a hole in the smooth, newly paved street.
What's with that? Who forgot what?
That says "water." Was this hole part of the plan or did it get paved over by mistake?
What I want to know now - did someone forget to put in that big, concrete pipe that's on the side of the road? Will there be jackhammers on Monday again?
