Job Completed

By popular request, this post shows the
Town installing a new storm drain recently.
A previous post last month outlined the
street markings to indicate where pipes

were to be installed underground to meet
up with the drain between our property and
our neighbor’s. The huge concrete square was
laid into the hole freshly dug. Next came a

plywood frame to pour the concrete. After
a few days of curing, the Town would return.
Although new soil had been installed and
grass seed put down, rains were forecast,

This week after removing the plywood frame around
the concrete square, new soil and grass seed
were put down, smoothed and planted. Time for
more photos. I asked to look inside the drain,

so, the cover was opened. I viewed where an
additional pipe went to the left side to meet up
with our underground pipes. In between rains, the
Town has been by to inspect their work. By

all appearances, the job is completed. We
are now ready for the annual snowplows to
damage the edges of our lawn in their snow
removal efforts. Every spring, new grass seed

is planted to repair the damage from the
snowplows. Such is life in Upstate New York
winters! I would not trade my four seasons
here. Our gardens bring us much joy!
