Variety

So there I was, sitting in my sewing room/office trying to get some work done, and I hear strange noises outside. I get up, open the blinds a little more, and there's a backhoe digging in our front yard.

John went out to investigate. It seems the county is replacing PVC water pipe with copper pipe on their side of the meter.

I'd seen evidence of a lot of digging around the neighborhood and wondered was was going on. Now I know.

He didn't have to dig a lot so that yard isn't ruined or anything. It sounds like the neighbor's yard (the blue house) had large rocks around the pipes. He's really banging around.
