The City of C. R. (Dodie B.) called our house and asked to where they (CCR) can bill the "work done" on the front yard last Saturday. The work was actually shutting off the main water tap and opening of the drainage hole located at the front yard, on the lawn. The bill? $200. It was a less than 30 minutes work of shutting down the tap or the switch whatever or pipe whatever you call it in your language. The worker didn't dig anything on the yard. The blob or the ground stump that was raised up was sort of water build-up or pressure. Anyway, maybe because he was called from work on Saturday that could be the reason why it has to be costly.
Maybe it's cheaper if from a private company that was called to attend to that bulge or blob on the ground. Not the Ghostbuster! lol. j/k The guy or the city worker has resemblance with the Hollywood actor. dude, not funny!

Imagine if my husband would be called at the middle of the night while a commotion of drunk tenants started to cause so much trouble and my husband was there pronto at the site of conflict. How much he's paid for such peacekeeping work? Nothing. The cops told my husband to call the RCMP right away when there is such trouble. The next morning, our vehicle was full of broken eggs pelted by the unruly troublesome tenant. How much would it be if my husband is called for demolition and renovation for a 2 bedroom house? I don't know, but I assumed that he should be paid $25/hour to $30/hour. Heavy work. Demo and reno are work intended for professional, highly skilled laborer. My husband is highly skilled worker, professional, and deserves better pay and wages and benefits. He doesn't get that kind of wage!!!!!!!! That's the way it is in Canada.
When you think that some people are wealthy because they have vehicles and houses? Think about high utilities and taxes to pay. The basic necessities in life to survive in urban community. It's no laughing matter. If you're making $5,000/month the deductibles are amazingly half of that. You only received $2,500 and mortgage or rent for the house? How you gonna live with just 1,000/month after deductions if you have 3 children? That $1,000 for food. So basically NOTHING's left. So many workers tend to have at least 3 jobs to attend to survive the harsh life. If you don't you become one of the millions of homeless.

Back to the ground:
No problem now except that the ground on the front yard is so soft to step on. It's not concrete in the truest sense. That maybe the reason why it should not be watered or no water sprinkle for the rest of the year. Let it just stay under the condition "desertland." That could be it, as what Sandy said that yard never been so green because it was likened to a "desert." Cactus or cacti would be the best option to plant on that space.
Do I want a front yard with lots of cactus plants as if I'm living in Arizona?
Aahahhahah! Jesus Christ!
I could only think that the winter snow from December, January to February had the water stocked or trapped from underneath or there is underground running water from the ocean to our place, as we are located walking distance from the beach. Oopsi, not to scare you but I'm scared though. Whatever.
This island is one of the safest island. I hope so.
OMG! Value added pressure!
Oh wow! Now they are reading me secretly.
As if i don't know.
