Work is progressing!!

Lazy Gnome is "happy" to say that this is the bottom photo is the view of the house from the alley as of this morning. Isn't it swell?

The Landscapers hauled away about 9 truckloads of concrete, earth, sod and green stuff yesterday alone. LG was surprised to see them here yesterday, and on Friday and on the day before that as there has been a lot of rain in River City this past week. One of the crew said that kind of work they were doing in my yard is about all they can do when it is this wet. He usually works in commercial rather than residential--putting boulevards into new developments, etc. LG realizes, too, that although she may be frustrated with weather-related delays, the companies also have to deal with the fact that they can't earn any money either.

The crew member also said that three years ago, some clients were waiting a whole season before their work could be done. Yikes!!

All this is to say that LG is less likely to be complaining about delays from now on--in part because the work has actually started and so there is some relief in that alone.

The top photo is the wooden walkway that the landscapers have provided to ensure LG has a way in and out of the house....it's a long way through mucky sludge without this gangplank, for sure!

When the crew was packing up to leave for the day, LG asked the crew lead if they found anything interesting in the yard as they were digging things up. "Nothing we can sell on e-Bay", he said.
