Someone just asked me in work how my house is? and how long has it been now. Its been 16 weeks yes 16 weeks. My god I can't believe we have lived in that damp mess for all this time.
Hopefully when they dig the drains up again on the 4th January and FIX them properly this time. No cutting corners it will be fixed. And everything else will fall in to place.
I haven't mentioned it before but weekend before Christmas the drains in the road were struggling to take the rain water away because it was raining that heavily. I had a look at our storm drain that is just outside the cellar doors and it seemed to be holding its own. I asked Geoff to bring a couple of sand bags home from work.
During the week I happened to look at the storm drain again and yep you guessed it it looked like it was blocked. A call to united utilities and a call out later. The operative they sent managed to break the return valve in the drain so that all has to be replaced. I really couldn't make this up.
They are going to try and scheduled the work in next week. But its left my property really vulnerable to flooding I am so worried about Storm Dylan.
