We had council come through our back yard and a neighbour's yard 7 years ago, needing to improve possible problems. We lost a lot of trees and privacy, ending up with sunshine and grass seed - and views of neighbours. Like you, I was grateful it was at their expense. The children had days of entertainment watching....Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-22030323811585114972015-09-21T08:09:36.193+10:002015-09-21T08:09:36.193+10:00Sounds like a nightmare.

Thankfully during the day we would go down to either the local shopping centre only a 3 minute drive or to Maccas only a couple of minutes away too, at night we were screwed. I once had a woman from the dept of housing maintenance line tell me to go over to a neighbours house during the night, I asked her how would she feel if a neighbour knocked on her door at 2am wanting to go in a do a shit in her toilet, she was not amused, I then said which neighbour should I ask, the drug dealers, the prostitute, the bikers or the crazy man with mental health problems this left her speechless and she said she would put the order through as urgent the time the blockage happened on a Friday and she had told me it would be Monday before anyone would be here, as it turned out the plumber turned up at 5pm said he would check and ring the water board as he knew by then what the problem would be.

The guy who did it did not do the job properly and we have had to put in another new one. The 10 year guarantee was a waste of time as we then discovered not only had he gone bust (I am not surprised), but only his carpentry work was covered!! He came highly recommended by another British couple!!!!!
