Deep Sigh...

Remember when I blogged about my Sewer troubles? Here?
Well look at this.

The city still hasn't come to fix the mess they left behind. The lid isn't locked shut to the lift station, and it stinks back there!! I'm glad we don't have littler kids around with that lid not locked down! It makes me nervous-I hate to think of a kid or a critter was to fall in there!

There's a big hole in the dirt next to the cement station. And darn it I had just planted hostas from the front hill all the way around the darn thing too!

And worst of all they haven't put our chain link fence back together so the dogs have been confined to the little area on the south side of the house. No fun for them!

 

They had to trench up through the neighbors yards too. They just left a lump of dirt all the way up there! I hope we get some action soon, Hubs told the mayor that we'd call a landscaper and send them the bill if they don't get it taken care of. 

It's getting to be a jungle out there-I may have to call the hay balers to come in!!

It Wasn't The Dog

So my backyard has been a  regular beehive of activity. Saturday I had to call the mayor and tell him the lift station that is located in our backyard-but is owned & maintained by the city-was not operating. Remember it was really hot out too? Well a few minutes later Mr. Mayor & our city water guy were here. They suspected that the pump may have gone bad.  "We'll get the Honey Wagon in here a couple times a day until we can get that fixed" said Mr. Mayor. That was on Saturday.

Today is Friday! Look at the trench they have dug.

 

Turns out, it's not the pump it's the wiring! YIKES! So the trench for the wiring goes all the way up the hill and out to the street on the backside of our block. They had to remove part of our chain link fence toget the trencher machine in, but they'll put it back when they are done.

The electrician fella just left a few minutes ago, he wired the box on the pole at the lift station site. I told him I have dogs that can dig holes as big as this trench-too bad they won't dig WHERE you want them he said! Things are looking up now!
