This Is Freaking Progress??????

I woke up this morning to the charming knocking on the front door by a workman from R.B. Baker Company. He said that they were going to tear out our concrete culvert and put in their stormwater system. This is a photo of them tearing out the old pipe. Lovely, isn't it? Our ditch managed to shunt water through several hurricanes and numerous tropical storms with no real problem. If their 'improved system' is as successful as it is in front of the subdivision down the street, we are going to flood every time it sprinkles.
