what about your own sanity while this is going on?
Oh, it is horrible. Two days ago they ruptured the water main and we had no water for 1/2 a day. (this was an accident).

They are putting in a new main in the whole area...since we are VERY OLD...
Our cat trembled ALL day yesterday until they turned the immense machines off.
Today they are digging a test hole for our line to see if we are copper..and the neighbor whose line is right next to ours. If either one is NOT copper they will be digging up my whole garden in the hill! (We just had our line replaced one summer about 4 yrs ago so we think we are copper..the house next door is a rebuild on an old lot 25 yrs ago...and they think both are copper now).

They will be coming today...digging up the whole curb area across the street (no houses on that side--just my wildflower gardens).

I will be keeping all doors and windows shut. The fumes off these monster diggers were horrible yesterday...clouds and clouds of diesel. And both of us are sneezing and gakking majorly too.

I expect more vibrations today since it will be closer.
