They changed course and went further up that street! Told DH
"tomorrow" will be our turn.

When they quit for the day I'll be over there snapping more pix.

Our electrical comes in from the back. We live on a high hill, and the street
is down below us. We now have buckets of water and two 2L dispensers
standing by. They told us we would be "warned" but then they hit that main at the corner (said it wasn't where it was supposed to be) we were caught short.

They are removing the curbs...since they are putting the new main under there.
Then when all done, the road will be repaved...which that part we do like.
Our area was built in 1915...so everything is narrow, and VERY old.

I have to remove some things (rocks) from the edge of my gardens, so Kevin is coming on the weekend to help. I am going to move some plants too.
I just hope we won't have to move 6 feet up to the sidewalk...I think we may escape that plan.

What is amazing is that the digger down in the street is big enough to reach
the roof of any house here (2 story) from down THERE! The scale is just not like anything we have seen here ever.

The other two cats are ignoring everything. It is Oreo who is deeply affected.
She is afraid of thunderstorms, the garbage trucks, the mailman, the street cleaner is a biggie.

We took her down there last night, here is a picture, to show the scale.
She got that close then ran off, and I barely got to catch her in the frame!

Thanks Jo...we have a battery APC surge protector thing so it would beep like mad if we lost power and
give us 15 min to shut down. If both of us were going to be gone, I'd turn everything off. We lost a powerpak
and whole unit several yrs ago during a tornado alert...so I am very paranoid about computers now.
Thanks for the advice!

This corner which is 2 houses away from us... had a big sinkhole problem. They are removing the
whole manhole now to fix that. So I guess it was jinxed.
