Utilities!

 Day 134 w/ 41 to go

                                                  Will they ever stop digging up dirt piles??

                                                  Even got a new machine to dig up more dirt!

And this was our street earlier today.  I couldn't even get in to park in the carport.

But it is interesting how they are digging up and looking for the utilities.

Because they are looking for somewhat fragile lines - sewer, water, gas and electric, they can't dig with big excavators.  Nothing metal that could break the lines.  Instead they pump in high pressure water and then suck out the muck.  Leaves a clean and deep hole.

This is the comcast line, which, of course, we don't need.

        Roy is trying to point out the 3 gas lines down there. (At least, I think they're gas lines).  

Can you see it?

To be honest, I'm not sure anyone really knows yet what lies beneath! But Roy is always in on the conversation.  

                                                            

Funny story, the WOMAN who is doing the pumping/sucking is the same woman who came by our home about 3 months ago to pick up some furniture that we had advertised for free in Craigs List as we started to downsize.  She remembered us. :)   Small world.
