dagibbsgabriel_le did a wonderful job of shoveling out more of our driveway today! It is wider, and I think can even park two cars again! Woot!
The city wheels grind slow, but they do grind... way back, when raynedaze still lived here, we had a problem with our sewer pipe clogging. Some guys from the city rodded it, and determined that there were tree roots in the pipe. Since the big tree in front of our house is a city tree, they decided this was a city problem. Apparently they also ran a camera down the pipe to take a look. About a year and a half ago Nathan from the city called to say they were finally dealing with the pipe -- came and figured out where the pipe went, looked at the tree and the planter, and mentioned that the pipe was partially cracked/collapsed and the city would be fixing it. He said they didn't want to kill the tree or have to dig up/break up the planter. But, that maybe they could line the pipe instead, and that they'd have to look over the video again (or have someone look it over) and determine if this was possible. Earlier this week, he called again, apparently they can re-line the pipe, and can do this without tearing up anything. So, someone from the company that will do it is going to be contacting me in January about this. Cool.
In January I'll be flying to Detroit for Confusion, then from there to Mexico for a week, then to Indiana for a week then home. The last two weeks of February will probably be spent in Albuquerque New Mexico.
