It’s been an endless money pit, hasn’t it?
Now we’re paying P & I on all the money tossed into the pit.
(((shaking))) my head and fist in disgust.
Good one. I'll be using that.
Many years ago, as a child growing up in Mass, we lived in a town that was notorious for such thinking. If it happened that a road would be repaved everyone knew that within the month the water or gas dept. would come along and dig up their line, leaving the newly paved road with a lumpy, scabrous patch. Happened every time sure as the sun coming up. It never occured to them to coordinate so that the trenching got done before the paving.
A street next to the elementary school my daughter went to is being repaved. They dug it up a week before school opens.
Paine: It never occured to them to coordinate so that the trenching got done before the paving.
*chuckle* I grew up in Mass and you just described every town I lived in.
There are dirt roads in Vermont that are better than any paved secondary road in Mass.
