A crew of workers has been doing something nearly all summer to the underground pipes all around our apartment building (this may or may not have something to do with the strange changes to the water lately). They have at various times dug up huge sections of the sidewalk in front of our building and in the parking lot behind it. Then they fill in the holes with god-knows-what and they slap on some asphalt to cover it all up. The result has been a mess of a sidewalk.
Monday morning, I walked out of the building and right into a crew of men working on re-asphalting the entire sidewalk and parking area. That evening, as we walked up to our building, Igor joked “I wonder how long it will be until they dig up another hole.”
Exactly two days.
I took these photos from my apartment window the first day the work began. Now, a couple days later, the hole is at least 6 feet deep and is “barricaded” (I use the word lightly) off by a thin flimsy “Caution” tape.
