Um. Right.

For the past few weeks, my town has been ripping up my street. And now that I am working from home, I am getting the loud noises, the dirt movers, the big trucks literally *shaking* the house with the construction. Not kidding - I have things falling off tables because the vibration is so *there.* The tires on some of these trucks are higher than I am tall. No shit, it's like they're building the Great Wall or something.

This has been going on for a while. Orange cones, big blinking lights, *detour* sign in front of my house. Piles of dirt everywhere.

Today, the town finally caught up with whats really going on and I got a yellow printed NOTICE shoved in my door.

NOTICE: UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION WORK AND DAYTIME ROAD CLOSURE

Um. "Upcoming"?!? Methinks you are a little late. As the notice indicates work will *begin* on April 1 and continue through September 1.

I have the front shovel of a dirt-mover laying about in front of my house behind the detour sign. I have a messy patch all down the street and across my driveway from where they've already put in one new pipe. They just used a massive construction truck to move a pipe with a 3 foot diameter down the street.

I THINK THEY'VE ALREADY BEGUN!!!

musings, construction, real life
