Dirt, Dirt, Everywhere!

This past Friday, Thomson Excavating came and dug the trenches for our water and sewer line within our property. Somehow the dirt pulled out of the trench didn't all fit back in! I think some of it's because they brought in some pit run to cover over the pipes. So I guess that explains some of the HUGE piles left behind Friday night. Saturday morning was bright and sunny so we were able to get some better pictures of the NEW arrangement of dirt! And this coming week, hopefully, there should be one more arranging of the soil - in preparation for a parking lot. As it is right now, we can't even drive onto the lot. The town has strategically placed some barricades to prevent that. Mind you, if you tried driving in at the ususal spot you would either climb a dirt pile as high as the shed or you would end up in a trench that is still about 2 -3 feet deep. I think we will find a new way in for now!

In the first picture from rainy Friday afternoon you can see way down to the other end of the trench the tiny little men (no they are not height challenged) putting pipes under the foundation wall. The second picture show the next day, sunny Saturday morning, and the piles left over!





There is no doubt about it now - everyone can see things are happening at 4892 - 46 Street!
