The construction company arrived around 7:30 this morning to begin the big sewer line replacement project! When we get home this evening, the new line will have been run and, I hope, the big trench filled with dirt. Day 2 (and maybe 3) will be the restoration phase, to include replacing our sidewalk squares that are destroyed in the process and, I hope, spreading grass seed. Asked the guys this morning if they would be putting our landscaping back in ASAP in the hope that it will all survive come spring. Just want it in the front of their minds that we are concerned about our rhododendron and other bushes for which we have no spares in the back garden. (The rose-of-sharons are plentiful, but the others have no replacements.) There should be a bit of rain coming on Thursday and that should help re-establish the roots for our landscaping (she says with fingers crossed!!).
I look forward to being able to do my washing at home without fear of a backup in our basement. And being able to be at home multi-tasking while doing said laundry!!!
I look forward to using this as a BIG selling point for our home, along with a new roof & gutters, new sidewalks, tuckpointed chimney, newer kitchen/bath/entryway flooring, fresh paint and an amazing yard that is a garden oasis!!! (As a matter of fact, one of the construction guys asked me this morning what our selling price is!! I asked him to pass the word along should he know of anyone interested in buying!)
And so begins my new, positive, less-stressed outlook on the entire situation.
