Typical of city workers everywhere. What we see a lot is a work site that has 10 guys and only 1 is working in a hole why the others are leaning against a shovel watching!

hey I saw 6 of them standing watching 2 guys putting up the new Danville City sign .I wonder if they were using telepathy to get the sign up straight and level .Funny thing is every one that goes by the sign can see it is far from level .I am guessing it did not work and they needed a real level

Still no sight of the city workers, I should call and ask what happened, barely started the project, then just left for days now... must be nice to be a city worker. No wonder people joke about them! I'm getting mad now... Poppy and I are going to bite them!! Grrrrr

ok poppy barks maybe but if you bark you may scare them away and they may not come back .Well coffee time darn leak in my pond can't be found and suspecting the waterfall on the one end is the problem and may have to take the whole thing apart .I have the liner over lapping the other liner by 3 feet so can't figure why it would do that and the piece that is under goes up the side concrete block under the top liner I was 2 feet short to get it where i wanted it to be .Have a bigger liner so guess i may have to redo it .Just got done trying to figure it out and it is 9 pm so time to stop it is getting dark out

took both waterfalls apart and nothing and the liner is new from last year .Since my sides are built up concrete block I can't find any signs of water behind the liner,but I m going to replace both waterfall liners with a longer piece and weigh the top parts down with flat rock .Checked hoses .Storm did something around here last night when a bolt of lightening hit a power tower , 6 neighbors circuit breaker boxes got blasted but I have the whole house surge protector on my breaker box and guess that saved me .I think if more people knew what can happen to everything in there house they would pay the extra 100 dollars to get one .I was saved from that at least .

Well darn sissy hope there is no hole in your liner and after you replace the waterfall liner it is fixed!
Good for you being smart and getting that surge protector.

Yep I knew how bad the storms could be here .I can't remember the sight for the discount lights and remember someone else on bought from them .It has been over a year and for some reason I did not write it down .I bought from them over 2 years ago and I know they carry the LED light control boxes because that is what i bought and to get it from the manufacturer of the lights that go down my driveway it is 52 dollars and I think I got it for 24 dollars from them .They sell everything .Some one cut the wires to mine and repaired all but one set and there is something rattling around inside it ,since it is sealed you can not fix it .
