Construction

The house next door is no longer in existence. It used to be just an empty lot with about 10 guys living in it. Then one days they brought in a big old claw machine, I don't know what it's called, but y'all know, one of those big yellow construction machines. For 48 hours straight they just dug and now it's this huge hole. Notice the bed in the middle of the hole...every night the 'guard' climbs down there and 'guards' the big hole.
Word on the street, literally haha, is that they're going to build a 9 story apartment building. I just want to know where everyone is going to park. Of course it will take them at least 5 years to build this place and so it doesn't really relate to me, but still, you gotta think about those things.

So in the process of digging this hole they cut the phone lines in several different places. We don't actually have a landline phone so it wouldn't be a big deal except for that our Internet runs through the phone lines and so now we don't have Internet at our house. 10 days ago we asked the workers about it and they just looked at the cut lines and said 'they're broken'. We were like 'exactly...how are we gonna fix this?' and they said 'oh, well the Eed is in 3 days. We'll fix it after that'. What I want to know is what were they doing in the 3 days leading up to the Eed that they couldn't fix them.

Thing is, we got out of all this pretty lucky. Our house is the last house on the street that has water. Apparently they cut the water lines too. We asked if they were going to fix that and they said 'well, the Eed is in 3 days. We'll fix it after that.' So everyone else down the street went without water for a week...I bet they were really wondering what the guys were doing for those 3 days. I guess we can't really complain too much about the phone lines.
