No, we’re not replacing Duncan Madog… yet!
Holes dug by dogs?
Well, no, not exactly. Our neighbor just got a cute Cocker Spaniel puppy for their kids and realized they needed to put up a fence in the back yard for the dog to have some playing room. They hired a “construction” company from the town of Wellington to help put up the fence this winter. Problems developed right away as the ground was frozen and there were periods when it would snow and not melt in the afternoon like it always had in the past. The contractors didn’t have a clue where to dig. One of them was observed using a dowsing rod; I asked him what he was looking for. He couldn’t or wouldn’t tell me. I convinced the owned of the property to call 811 before these idiots dug any holes! They also needed for me to find my sprinkler heads which was hard to do in the winter.
The picture above is a partial result of their work. Can you see the cut cable? Yes, it seems they cut our Comcast cable in at least three places! God, what idiots!
And even more holes
OK, these holes were dug and then a few days later, posts and concrete were placed in the holes (by a technique that defies explanation). Now a snow storm is coming! Will they finish the job before the big snow? Stay tuned.
