We have a flood problem, not that we've had much rain on Stately Wood Acre-and-a-half. There's a gradual slope that feeds water to where the utilities live. When we do have a gully washer, the water does what the Colorado river has done so nicely on the grand canyon, i.e.: it erodes what it can. Since our ground slope is on very hard soil and rock, or rock just below the hard surface, or rock'n'dirt called caliche, it runs as if on concrete.
So the development landscaper has decided slowing down the water will give it time to... and this is where it gets hazy to me... penetrate the rock or slip into another dimension or just go away.
Well, they missed the first day we were promised the work, then rescheduled and missed that too. Supposed to dump rocks just about now and work tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted. You can share in my amazement as the mitigation workers work their... miti-magic?
.....
The next day.
No, they didn't come.
Yes, it rained.
Yes, the wall started to come down again.
