Hope everyone had a peaceful Christmas. Or Festivus. Last month we received a very large water bill from the City. Bigger than any before. 21,000 gallons, they said we used. WHAT? Call the water department. "Well, you can read your own meter, if you want." Uhhhh, nope. Because, guess what, our water meter is under the Sidewalk to Nowhere - remember, the one the City required the day before move-in? Jiminy Christmas. Called the warranty department of our builder. The lady cracked up laughing. Under the sidewalk? NO WAY! Keep on laughing, chicky chick, here is our meter:
These two dudes dug it out, and moved it south about 18 inches. Notice the nice braid on the guy on the right.
Luckily, it was about 70 degrees that day. I wore shorts and did a lot of sidewalk supervising. Gave 'em a Diet Coke. There was a leak, right at the meter, so the super-competent City will fix that.
They put all the sod back in place, and they'll have to pour a new slab of stupid concrete, because this one broke into pieces. Happy New Year, everyone! Don't drink & drive.
