They should have done the job right in the first place. Next the city will come out and say he can't have the hoop there. I've seen that happen too, but I live in California.

I was in Michigan once visiting my daughter and had an opportunity to watch a full city street repair crew. They screwed off an entire morning, getting less done than than 2 laborers would here in half the time. It was obvious they didn't want to work. That sounds like your hole digging crew. It's a sign of our times. *sigh*Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-30244318890323733382015-05-28T04:52:54.400-04:002015-05-28T04:52:54.400-04:00Workmen aren't what they used to be, it seems....Workmen aren't what they used to be, it seems.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-17117319217640026132015-05-28T03:27:00.447-04:002015-05-28T03:27:00.447-04:00Damn, I meant to say the original half-a-hole.Damn, I meant to say the original half-a-hole.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-36092682377015118542015-05-28T03:26:29.064-04:002015-05-28T03:26:29.064-04:00Well at least he got them to replace the original ...Well at least he got them to replace the original wrong depth hole.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
