Employees of the City of Bainbridge Island showed up unannounced yesterday morning at 8:30 to dig a trench in Steve and Pippa's front yard. If you look closely at this photo, you can see little Nola watching from the window.It seems unfortunate that they came in and tore up the yard without any warning, though, to their credit, they did a reasonable job of putting it all back pretty much the way it was. But it was, I think, pretty hard on Pippa because Steve was out of town -- maybe even a little scary, though I'm sure she remained calm to protect Nola. And how did they decide whose yard to dig up?
Apparently they were sampling the soil to see whether they can get by with just digging a trench for the sewer instead of digging up the whole road. Did they dig up other yards as well? Did anyone else get warning of this?
