I have seen this from a distance, but, today, decided to see what it was all about. Fortunately, I'm on the corner, and connect to a large main on the adjacent street, so my yard escapes the damage. The job boss was waiting for his dump truck to return, so we discussed the job. He was happy to allow me to take photos. Here, he is in the cab waiting for the truck, and I got a bonus in a "selfie" in the mirror mounted on the upper corner of the cab. http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=9125 When the truck returned, he resumed digging to expose the main sewer for the new tap. http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=9128 Swinging around, he dumped the bucket load in the truck. http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=9131 There are also a water main and a gas main along the street, so this takes more care than might be realized at first glance. And, beforehand, they asked customers to make limited use of their sewers while the work was underway, because their lines are open to the excavation.:-) Fuji X-E1 and 18-55 Comments and critiques welcomed. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
