Five months. Our sidewalk was an ADA nightmare. Our side walk was an ambulance chasing lawyers dream. Why someone didn’t stage a slip and fall in front of our building is beyond me, but I’m guessing they could see that we weren’t really worth suing. Can you acquire someones debt through a lawsuit?!! An unfinished project? My accordion?!
I honestly can’t remember the order in which this disaster revealed itself, but it seems like it went from needing a water main upgrade, to a full water/sewage/drain pipe upgrade, involving city grants, plumbers, the sprinkler guys, the city, road blocks, the water department, and a flurry of inspectors. And while our sidewalk was wide open, a business that opened down the street that didn’t have the privilege of upgrading their sewage during their remodel had to bring in portapotties and dig up their sewage under the unforgiving eye of the general public during their grand opening. We can only hope we have preemptively stopped this from happening to us, when hundreds of people who are drinking beer overwhelm our two cute little toilets. I want to make a joke now about pizza and colons, but I will abstain.
Starting with an innocent little pipe going into the pressurized water main….
And it kept going……
Early morning, full of hope
Total disaster
The masters of disaster.
Wrapping it up, just a few months later….
All wrapped up, like nothing ever happened!!
