The process of putting in new phone lines

Mattias had a fun afternoon the other day as he watched a digger right outside our window dig up the footpath up and down our street. Noisy, dirty and so close! No one came to let us know the footpath was going to be dug up, and unfortunately for our neighbours, the footpath mostly ended up in front of their garage (people generally are very averse to leaving their cars outside overnight).

A week has since past, and the trail of destruction (or construction?) continues on down the hill. Not sure if the footpath will get repaired or if it will be left as is. At least I am getting a bit of off-roading experience as I drive into our garage!
