Well I woke up to this. I'm trapped in the driveway. Luckily I have no place that I have to be until later in the week. This is the city water company digging a section of street in front of my house. It has been patched so much that it was actually becoming part of the curb. I'm surprised they noticed it. So I'm grateful that it's being fixed.
For months now the gas company has been replacing the lines and meters in our neighborhood and that necessitated digging up the sidewalks on some properties. But the replacements are beautiful.
I live in the neighborhood that I originally grew up in so it's an older neighborhood and many sidewalks were in bad shape. I never thought the city would ever replace them but I lived to see it happen. Yay!
They have delayed replacing my sidewalk and those connected to mine because of having to grind up tree roots from my very mature River Birch tree in the front yard. And apparently the two companies decided jointly, to fix the street as well before replacing the sidewalk.
Patience and more patience are needed. I keep telling myself to focus on the beautiful end result and better curb appeal the house will have when it's time to sell.
So once both of these companies get done doing their thing, life will get back to normal.
