Home Ownership--what fun!!

After the long hard winter, we were happy that spring/summer season was on its way. Wait! Why can't we open the garage door? Why aren't some of our electrical system outlets working? After underground wires were installed in 1938, everything worked fine--until recently.  Apparently the underground wires have rotted and need to be replaced. A trench needs to be dug to uncover the wires and replace the new ones.  As I sit here typing and watching, I wonder how successful it is going to be?  The men working on the project don't seem to be too happy. I guess I'll have to offer them some refreshment but all out of cookies today!
