We got a heads up a couple weeks ago, but it was quite a surprise today when our lawn got torn up! Apparently our town is going through and methodically checking all the different water pipes in town to replace any of them that are too old or made of the wrong material. This means that they need to check everyone's pipes to see if they need to be replaced or not. The problem, of course, is that the pipes are underground, so they have to tear up a lot of lawns. Fortunately I don't care at all about the lawn! Tear away, boys! They came to the door to give us a warning that they would be doing it, and then dug right in- literally! They got the crane unloaded and got to it, tearing up about an 8 foot patch, going down five or six feet. After about 20 minutes, we got the 'all clear' and they started refilling the hole. Our pipes do not need to be replaced, but now our lawn does!
