Unwelcome Guests

Not exactly who I would invite for cocktails.
*
Yes they have shovels.
*
Yes they dug.
*
They dug the corner right where you see them standing (by the way just how many City 'officials' does it take to dig a hole?)
*
Then they dug along the parkway too.
*
They brought heavy equipment and excavated
*
Then we heard a jack hammer (not a pretty sound)
*
My dh has labored on restoring our lawn to a lush green landscape and now this.

Oh, in case you're wondering why?
*
They said there was a short in the electrical that runs underground
*
by OUR house only (sigh)
