Yesterday they told us they were done. Next would be the road work, etc.

But today they stood around and hemmed and hawed...and they discovered
that they forgot to fix the manhole in the right front of our house.

So Monday they will BE BACK. So they left their giant digger parked in front
of our house and we can't park the cars because of it. (we are using the backyard of a neighbor who is in Florida but returning tomorrow).

We have verbal permission from the traffic supervisor to park illegally on the highway in back...but I don't like leaving the cars there at night, like sitting ducks for breakins/theft. She said if we are ticketed she will reverse them. Yeah sure.

Then the lightning started, and they left. Guess there is a union clause about lightning storms. At least the beeping stopped. Having 4 huge machines all beeping beeping together is pretty awful. There is the giant digger with a claw bigger than a person, another digger fitted with the tamper...which shakes the house, a huge red truck to take the dug up stuff away, and a huge bulldozer to bring more sand.

I am so glad I am not working right now... This would really P.O me then.
