It was a usual Sunday morning. I wake early, I go down to my office and go online and read different things. I check my email, my Google alerts to see if there is any interesting news about Cottonwood Heights and Salt Lake. Well the batteries on my mouse were all but dead, I checked the closet for 2 AA and of course I have about 50 AAA and no AAs. Then I remembered I have some in my car, so I get my keys and go out to the driveway and I notice water coming up out of the street. I’m thing that can’t be good, so I call the city and the recording says to call Salt Lake, so I do and they already knew and were on it.
So it made for fun viewing for the whole family, the dog had fun barking every time a new truck and person entered the scene. It starts off with Staker coming out and marking the area for gas lines, electricity, cable, phone and whatever else is buried in our streets. That was earlier this morning and that was right around the time the nice winter storm started rolling in.
The digging crew shows up, big truck blocked our view, Chris and I were bummed. Then the snow started coming down harder. The plumbers on steroids got down in the street and patched this pipe, then another crew shows up to fill the hole. This time there was no big truck blocking our view so we got to watch the fun. There was back hoe, dump truck guys working shovels and a tamper.
I included a little video, you can hear Chris reading his construction equipment book. I used it as a teaching moment.
Well just another winter storm on a spring morning living in Cottonwood Heights.
