I never washed my windows. Our cement like clay soil is creating more dust than we expected. They are getting close to the deck and should finish it all today. The septic pump company owner has been helped by husband (he's a hydraulic whiz) over the years so when we called, he came right out to empty the holding tank and the lines could be connected today. We've seen the neighbors on the highway progress and I guess the state (they mandated this) doesn't check because the required 8" of gravel below the pipe is not being installed. Same company doing all of those installations, six houses, on a state highway. And we begged to allow a variance so we don't have to destroy property, told absolutely not, regulations must be followed. Sure. The less responsible you are these days, the more you benefit.
Right now the machine is pounding the 4" thick cement patio to break it up and I feel the vibration on the floor. I've always wanted to operate a bobcat but don't want to interrupt their work by destroying the gears.
Oh no. Mark just came in and said the pipe from mom's section is broken. That's it. Next time, government can kiss my ass, I'm doing what we want like everyone else.
Filling the eight foot deep trench and lawn repair is not important right now.
Doc visit yesterday did not happen. I waited 85 minutes for her to come into the exam room, and decided to leave. My eyes have been horrible, fluorescent lights and air conditioning make them worse, and I was not sitting there any longer. I am returning at 8am tomorrow. still not sure if I will stay with this office since I am not comfortable with any of the medical staff after that fiasco.
And this is what the equipment did on this extremely hot day. Asphalt from the melting road on the new concrete drive that was installed after they tore out the original. A forever reminder since the concrete had not been sealed yet. But the installers had the concrete on their boots and walked over the old drive so it's white footprints on the dark aged section, a real mess anyway. The kids from this company left the 2" gravel in place and threw some dirt and seed over it. When we told them the gravel had to be removed, grass needs a layer of dirt, they smirked and continued. All that work was from the company that installed the main lines along the road, and they can't get anyone to work, so it is what it is.
Have a good ending to my favorite month. It's gone, passed before I realized.
Now that this nightmare is coming to a close, I hope to stitch tonight.

Ugh. What a nightmare!!!
A nightmare is right...but, wow....it was a quick doing. Can't say the same for our mess at the lake. And, hey....your windows that haven't been washed look a heck of a lot cleaner than mine do. Grrr on the appointment. I was on my way out from my appointment as well today. It's ridiculous to be left waiting 45 minutes when you are the only one in the waiting room....but before I left the waiting area, they came out and called me. I think they were in there all the time taking bets on how long I would wait and only came out when they saw me get up to leave. ~Robin~
Oh my, what a nuisance. I wish you some peaceful times soon. I think I would find a new doctor. I once had the first appointment of the day with my GP at 8am so I could get to my 9:30 job. The doctor arrived at the office at 8:45 after getting her children off to school and said "I just have to make some phone calls. I will be with you in a minute" Needless to say I walked out and never returned. I was a teacher and could not be late. There were students waiting for me. I never regretted that change. I hope your doctor is on time tomorrow morning.
What are you having done in your yard?
I would be looking for a new doctor.
I can't believe what you are going through at the moment. I think if I were you I'd buy a shotgun and have it placed casually over your shoulder as you ask people not to do this, that or the other. They might get the message, crazy woman with gun.
You are too kind Marly waiting that long before leaving!
I would have asked after 30 minutes why it takes so long for your doctor can see you.
Wish my windows are as clean as yours, but they are not because the house is close to the road and in these days there are a lot of big tractors from the farmers who are working on their land passing by.
Take care and stay save both of you.
Big hug,Truus from from Holland
You know what they say "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" ! You should have squeaked after waiting for 30 minutes.
You sure have been to H&#$L and back in the past months AND years. Hope you can see a doctor who knows his/her business today and not have to wait for than 15 minutes. Do some squeaking !
So sorry your driveway is messed up. Those folks just don't care.
After living here for 54 years and being 80 years old, I've been cited for having bamboo growing in the corner of my yard. It has spread (about 2 feet in) from my next door neighbor's yard. So in the heat of the day, on Monday, I went out and cut the bamboo.......have to do something so it won't come back, but it will since it is growing like crazy next door.
Does the craziness ever end ?
Praying for a good day for you, Carole, Mark and Nitzy.
Hugs,
Charlotte in Va.
Well pooh for the way things are going on the sewer fiasco. I'd have been tempted to take pictures of the neighbors (and yours) work done, as evidence, for if it's ever questioned how it was done, compared to theirs. I used to go to a medical place where waits of at least an hour in the waiting room wasn't uncommon. Then more waiting once they called you back - nope, I don't go there any more. Though I will say that when I had to take Dad there in his later years, the long waits seemed to be gone. I hope today's attempt goes better for you. (((hugs)))
Marly: Wow that is a load of work you are having done.
Sad that the tire mark is on your driveway.
I hope they finish soon so you can relax and not have to hear the noise.
