We had workmen bulldoze their way around our back yard. Why? Because they were replacing the sewer lines all along our street. We didn't even know there were sewer lines in our yard. Anyhow, they dug a huge ten feet hole in order to find the sewer line. Very interesting to watch, but it was with trepidation that my gaze followed the workman who descended into the deep hole.
They very kindly also replaced some small steps we had built, and which they charged through with their bulldozer. Also managed to acquire several large slabs that were unearthed and which I've now added to a small wall I've been building in the garden.
The workmen are supposed to come back with topsoil and grass seed at some future date. I wonder if they'll remember to return?!
Apparently access to the sewer lines is property of the township where we live. I never knew that. I always assumed that our property was ours. I had no choice but to allow all these burly workmen access to our property which they duly dug up and made a fine mess of.
At least they didn't request the use of my bathrooms!
Have you ever had workmen come in and dig up your yard?
