stupid FIOS...I need to vent!


I know my grass doesn't look great but it's after Aug and it was a dry month. This picture doesn't do it justice of the big hole there. I didn't want to go out and take a picture with the workman standing there.
So this is what is happening to my beautiful backyard. I come downstairs in the morning hardly awake and not ready to greet workman to having workman in my backyard digging lines for FIOS.Don't mind knocking on my door or warning us. It's craziness! They dug two big holes in my yard one day and then we wake up this morning at 7. (that is early for us) to them digging more holes. It would be somewhat ok if they warned us or told us about it and if they laid the beautiful new grass back nicely, but they didn't. So I am so upset mostly about my beautiful yard that is now torn apart. They also put a box into the ground so we can't lay grass over that. If they had laid it another 2 feet over it would have been out of our fence. I am so mad! This FIOS better be worth it. And another thing the weather has absolutely been perfect and of course we can't just go out and sit in our backyard and enjoy it because we have people back there smoking and doing work that we didn't know about. CRAZINESS! the work better be done today!

What is an FIOS? And aren't they supposed to give advance notice via mail or at the very least a note on the door? We have cable and other utilities access for workmen in our back yard, but I think here in Longmont they're required to give warning before they come wandering into our yard. They are also supposed to restore landscaping that they tear up. But maybe Longmont is just meaner to them than your town is. I'm so sorry.

How annoying! They just got done doing our nieghborhood, but luckily it is just outside our gate. It is dumb, though because every since they finished, the ground hasn't settled and we have a heck of a time opening our gate. I am glad it wasn't inside to mess up our barely one year old landscaping!! Good luck....
