Got two men at my door this morning, just before I was about to leave for my rounds.
Apparently they had an appointment to fix my gutter/rain-pipe. I was not aware of this. Something had gone wrong in communication.
The damage was more than they hoped for.
So, they dug up a lot outside, and had to be under the floor in my house too.
Maybe it is good I did not know in advance. Did not give me the chance to dread it happening.
They will be back somewhere next week, for the finishing touch outside.
